MGMT 5406 - Collective Bargaining


Collective bargaining is a process by which representatives of labor and management seek agreement on the terms and conditions of employment. The public often has a vested interest in the process, especially when conflicts over terms of employment cannot be resolved at the bargaining table. Topics covered include the evolution of bargaining, theories of bargaining power and behavior, and the impact of the law on the conduct and substance of bargaining. The range of bargaining issues is described, along with variations in bargaining structures. The grievance procedure is examined with respect to the application and interpretation of collective agreements. Students participate in a negotiation simulation and a collective-bargaining simulation.
