Employee and Labor Relations
Our office is responsible for creating, administering and interpreting MIT's personnel policies, and for training on HR policies and practices. We help to prevent and resolve workplace problems, and we work to ensure the Institute's compliance with legal requirements affecting employment.
Human Resources Officers (HROs) are assigned to the Departments, Labs, Centers, and Institutes (DLCIs) and are both an employee's and a DLCI's primary contact for employment-related issues, both union and non-union.
The Labor Relations group is responsible for labor relations strategy and interpretation for the entire Institute. Working with contacts in the DLCIs, it negotiates, interprets, and administers eight collective bargaining agreements at MIT: the Research, Development, and Technical Employees' Union (RDTEU) – campus and Lincoln Laboratory; the Service Employees' International Union (SEIU) – campus; the Campus Police Association (CPA); Non-Professional Library Employees (AFSCME Council 93) – campus; the Graduate Student Union (United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of American (UE-MITGSU)) – campus; Service Employees' International Union (SEIU) – Lincoln Laboratory; Facilities Service Independent Union (FSIU) – Lincoln Laboratory; and the Lincoln Laboratory Security Officers' Independent Union (SOIU).

Human Resources Officers
MIT's Human Resources Officers (HROs) are part of HR's Employee and Labor Relations area. They have detailed knowledge of MIT's HR policies and practices, and consult with employees, managers, HR professionals in the DLCIs, and Directors of Administration and Finance. Our HROs advise and train on issues affecting work, job performance, annual reviews, training, hiring practices, leaves of absence, discipline, compensation, harassment or discrimination concerns, layoffs, reorganizations, and conflict resolution.
If you're an MIT employee with a question about any HR issue, please contact the Human Resources Officer for your area. Find your HRO by department or email lookup.
