Current and Emerging Trends in Collective Bargaining
The collective bargaining process continues to be a source of consternation and confusion for labor and management. Yet, in today's economic environment, collective bargaining remains the most important way for unions and employers to negotiate over employees' conditions. This presentation examines the state of collective bargaining in 2024. The presentation focuses on the economic relevance of bargaining, the issues driving conflict at the bargaining table, the resources available to assist in the negotiation process, and what changes we might expect in the upcoming years.
