  9. Represent the Company in negotiations on an as-needed basis.
  10. Prepare for and assist with Legal/Outside Counsel in the presentation of arbitration and unfair labor practice cases.
  11. Respond to union information requests.
  12. Develop and maintain effective relationships with union leadership to foster and continuously improve union-management relations.
  13. Management training and strategy development related to management/employee relations.

In certain locations and/or due to business needs, this role may be called upon to cover certain Human Resources or other administrative responsibilities, including but not limited to:

  1. Assist Talent Acquisition Staff with established screening/selection processes, such as conducting onsite candidate interviews when necessary, particularly those associated with management-level positions, and otherwise providing counsel to local management regarding candidates and their potential fit for any position.
  2. Lead onsite new hire onboarding, including transacting new hires via Personnel Action Form, completing I-9s, and coordinating with Frontier HRIS, Payroll, and Security Teams to ensure a solid introduction into Frontier.
  3. Handle varied issues from both local management and employees regarding wages/benefits, FMLA, accommodation requests, etc., and address those issues to prevent escalation further into the organization.
  4. Assist local management in managing employee performance management for non-misconduct performance issues, including placing employees on performance improvement plans and associated disciplinary issues.
  5. Facilitate local Labor/Management or other contractually mandated committees by soliciting/selecting Company committee members and ensuring their attendance, developing agendas, etc.
