Negotiating a labor agreement that sets compensation and working arrangements acceptable to both sides is called what?
ACollective bargaining between union and management
BArbitration between the union and an outside party
CSuccession planning between managers and trainees
DRecruitment branding between firm and applicants
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Collective bargaining between union and management
1. Collective bargaining is the second phase of the labor relations process.
2. It produces a labor agreement covering compensation and working arrangements.
3. The arrangements have to be mutually acceptable, which is why it is a negotiation rather than an imposition.
4. Arbitration brings in an outside decision maker, so it is what happens when negotiation or grievance handling has already failed.
