Description
Collective Bargaining Preparation Essentials: A Handbook for Negotiating Employee Terms and Conditions. Negotiation is a fundamental means of getting what you want from others, involving back-and-forth communication to reach an agreement when shared interests and opposed views are present. We all negotiate in various contexts, such as with colleagues or spouses, buying cars, leading projects, or working groups. However, collective bargaining - the negotiation or renegotiation of employees' terms and conditions of employment - is a specific area that requires careful planning, strategy, and execution. This handbook provides essential guidance for preparing to negotiate collective agreements, broadening your perspective on your union-employer relationship and bargaining style. It offers preparation guidelines and strategies to help you successfully navigate the negotiation process and achieve mutually acceptable outcomes based on the parties' chosen alternatives. By reading this book, you will gain a deeper understanding of collective bargaining and develop the skills needed to effectively negotiate employee terms and conditions.
