You will be entering into negotiations with the Millennial Generation Labor Union", a union of young workers who are between the ages of 21 and 28. They all work at your company and the labor contract is up for renegotiation. You are the manager of Sacramento Paper Products and want a labor negotiation that is fair for you and them. You want to enter the negotiations prepared so you are going to prepare a Bargaining Book". A bargaining book is literally a play-book of how you plan on dealing with the expected issue that may come up. In a bargaining book you have your predetermined stance on multiple topics. When the other side brings up a topic you can 'open your book' and be ready to negotiate. For each topic in your bargaining book you must have the following: Name of Topic: What the other side will likely want What I am willing to give Strategy notes to self: For example: Name of Topic: Snack Room What the other side will likely want: They will likely want all the candy to be free or deeply discounted and available at all times for each union member. They will want junk and healthy choices. They will likely want a say on what is put into the snack room. They will likely also want beverages including sodas, juices and bottled water. What I am willing to give: I am willing to give a max of 5 choices of snacks to be in the room at all times. The members must pay at least the cost of the product. The beverage machine will be installed for them to purchase at a discounted cost. Strategy notes to self: be prepared for requests about junk and healthy options. Be prepared for trendy juices... do homework on what is considered popular. Do research on costs of electricity and vending machine lease. Someone has ' leaked' the possible topics that the union will approach you with. Prepare a bargaining book with 8 detailed ' pages' (see example above) on any 8 of the 10 topics below: 3 day weekends at least once monthly; and paid on the 'day off Casual dress every day Creation of company slow pitch softball league Bring your pet to work days Working with earphone and own music during work hours Having taco trucks outside of work during lunch times Company sponsored ski and snowboarding trips to Lake Tahoe Company help with college loans Company paying part of gas costs for employee who live far away Use of company facilities for end-of-year kegger party
