Labor Agreement NegotiationsLABOR AGREEMENT NEGOTIATIONS provides a convenient but challenging set of materials for students to use in a realistic simulation of union-management negotiations. As an experiential approach, this text is probably most appropriate for survey or advanced courses in personnel/human resource management, collective bargaining and labor relations, labor economics, or labor law, either at the undergraduate or graduate level. It also could be used in courses on conflict resolution, and it is suitable for conferences or seminars designed to develop negotiating skills of practitioners in the field, such as supervisors, managers, human resource professionals, and union leaders. |
