Collective Bargaining Simulation: An Exercise Based on a Familiar Theme
Abstract
Most labor relations simulations of collective bargaining use a factory setting as the basis for the exercise. Frequently the students lose interest in pursuing the simulation. This is because they do not have an understanding about the work relationships 0f strange job titles and descriptions. Additionally, many “contracts” are either too comprehensive or too simplistic. The simulation suggested here is based on a food market setting which utilizes familiar job descriptions and incorporates a labor-management agreement contract) specifically designed for the simulation exercise.Downloads
