Tactics used by Labor and Management During Conflicts If labor and management cannot reach an agreement through collective bargaining, and negotiations break down, either side may use specific tactics to enhance its negotiation position and perhaps sway public opinion. Labor and management have a variety of strategies to use when they fail to reach an agreement during negotiations. Labor has options to call for strikes or boycolls. Management can use lockouts, injunctions or strikebreakers when negotiations fail. Match the tactic being used to each of the situations being described.
