Better Bargaining - Nicholas A. Pittner - Bog

BETTER BARGAINING is a roadmap through the collective bargaining process in the public sector. Many of those involved with state or local governments, counties, townships, and school districts as labor, management, or interested bystanders will benefit from reading this work. It describes both how the bargaining process works, and how it could work better. The journey will take you from understanding why public sector bargaining is fundamentally different from bargaining in the private sector, through the preparation, the actual bargaining process, and the various possible outcomes. Based on nearly forty years of experience, the insight within these pages will also suggest strategies for resolving disputes and achieving fair and workable bargaining agreements.
Regardless of whether you are involved in the process as a professional negotiator, a bargaining team member, or simply someone interested in the process, Better Bargaining will provide a deeper understanding of how and why things are happening at the bargaining table.
