Collective Bargaining Process

Throughout the collective bargaining process, management and labor representatives determine the terms and conditions for their ongoing relationship. The collective bargaining process involved in negotiating a contract consists of four possible stages: preparation and initial demands, negotiations, settlement or impasse, and strikes and lockouts.
Regardless of the structure of the bargaining process, labor and management do not always reach agreement on the issues. If they reach an impasse, then the disputes can be taken to conciliation, mediation, or arbitration. The collective bargaining process includes preparation and initial demands, negotiations, and settlement and contract agreement.
