This course consists of a collective bargaining simulation exercise in which students participate in the process of negotiating a collective bargaining agreement. Students are divided into teams representing either management or labor and formulate proposals and counterproposals, and attempt to reconcile significant differences between the labor and management positions. Negotiators are required to operate within the context of the applicable statutory framework including the National labor Relations Act, labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Every effort is made to simulate an actual collective bargaining negotiation. Limited to 16 students. (Day and time to be announced.)
