During distributive bargaining negotiations, management was successful at conceding on vacation increases, but the unions lost on wage supplements. 

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


True

Distributive bargaining focuses on dividing a fixed economic "pie" between the two sides. A wage increase, for example, means that the union gets a larger share of the pie, management a smaller share. It is a win-lose situation. Integrative bargaining has a win-win focus; it seeks solutions beneficial to both sides.
