A recent certification election at Lutz Industries, a large manufacturing company, ended with the union winning representation rights. Management and the union are now preparing for their first contract bargaining sessions. Assume that you are the chief negotiator for the management team. Describe your goals for protecting management rights at Lutz Industries.
What will be an ideal response?
As chief negotiator, my main goal will be to preserve management's right to make decisions about anything that is not explicitly included in the contract. Importantly, I will then want to ensure that the contract is constrained to addressing wages, hours, and working conditions while leaving all other decisions up to management. I may want to explicitly protect some rights such as the right to hire, fire, direct and discipline the workforce, and determine the policies and methods of operation, including the introduction of new technologies and the ability to relocate or reallocate physical and human capital.
