Week 2 CBA Simulation

This week the professor will assign each team to either the union-side or management-side.

This process includes each student reviewing both contracts individually and making changes to the contract that are favorable to their position (union or management). The task should reflect their wish list, i.e. what changes you would want to make if you did not have to bargain with the other side.

Please see the attached instructions below for union-side. Attachment attach also.
