As Daniel and the parties proceeded, they began to find possible solutions to their dispute.

While evaluating these possibilities, Daniel asked what groups might need to authorize or sign off on an agreement, and how a proposal should be presented to them. Hugh said, $$Well$,$ upper management has to agree, but they won$$t be happy if a proposal comes from the clerks$$ union$$ they$$re still upset about how the last contract talks went. They feel that the clerks$$ union has an anti$-$business agenda.$$

Amy said, $$They$$re just angry because we had the guts to stand up for ourselves in the face of a really terrible offer. The drivers$$ union really started the solution process, and it was their issue to begin with, so I$$d be in favor of them presenting the proposal. They$$ve been a perfect example of why a union is important, and why we all need them$$ it was really courageous.$$

$$Thanks for saying that, Amy," Philip said, "but I$$m not certain our guys should present to management. They$$re furious about the policy being set up in the first place, and a lot of guys think management just doesn$$t like $$low$-$skilled labor.$$

Hugh said, $$To tell you the truth, I think the higher$-$ups can be pretty stuck up too, even though I$\text{'}$m considered one of them. I$$ve always preferred being in the field. Why don$$t I take in the proposal and say that it came from joint work between management and the two unions?$$
