The industry has been volatile in the past few years due to an unstable economy; therefore you do not want to promise your workers job stability, nor do you wish to offer them a huge pay raise. You feel that these labourers should consider themselves lucky to even have jobs in these tough times, so your job is to ‘lowball’ any offers you extend in this bargaining session. You will also try to convince them that any guarantee of hours will make layoffs more likely, so it is in their best interest to withdraw this demand.</p><p>Union You are representing the workers’ union in this labour negotiation exercise. Most of your members are so- called ‘unskilled’ labourers who have not had an increase in pay in two years. Your benefit plan covers only the basics. Your members would like to see it cover vision care and orthodontics. Your employers are in the auto industry and are hesitant to raise wages and benefits too much, because the industry is volatile. There are some things your members might be willing to negotiate, but they DEMAND a pay raise and some measure of job security.</p><p>Management You are representing the management of a business which designs and manufactures water treatment systems.
