Analysis of Outcomes Paper -

You are management team and directed to negotiate an agreement with the union. Suppose you already had the bargaining meeting. Please write a detailed analysis of this bargaining session.

SECTION A

Assessment of the wording of the Memorandum of Settlement -Analyze the settlement terms for each issue. Is the settlement language clear, complete and unambiguous? Is there wording that could cause the parties to misunderstand or interpret the agreement differently? Now that you have an opportunity to look at the language that has been drafted, are there any issues with it or anything that you would have worded differently? Analysis and Assessment of Settlement -Undertake a critical assessment of the impact of the settlement of each issue. How will what was negotiated affect the group you represent positively and in what way(s) potentially less positively? What is the impact of the terms you have negotiated for each issue for you as either management or union? Will management be satisfied with the outcome? If you are the union, do you think the bargaining unit will ratify the tentative agreement
