Provide an appropriate response.The members of a union are on strike. They are satisfied with their hourly wage rate and benefits, but they want their overtime wage rate to be increased by 15% in their next contract. The head of management makes the following statement to the head of the union: "If you end the strike today and sign the contract, we will meet your demand and increase the overtime wage rate by 15%." Should the union head accept the offer? Explain.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers may vary. One possibility: The union head should ask for more information. Even though management has apparently agreed to the demand for a 15% increase in the overtime wage rate, it is not clear that the overall deal is a good one. It is entirely possible that management has lowered the hourly wage rate, reduced the benefits, or made other changes to the contract to the detriment of the members of the union. Before making any promises, before giving up leverage by ending the strike, and certainly before signing anything; these issues must be clarified.
