What is the difference between mandatory, permissive, and illegal bargaining items? Give examples of each.

What will be an ideal response?


The NLRA requires management and the union to bargain over certain issues if they are introduced in negotiations. These issues are called mandatory bargaining items and include anything that falls into the category of wages, hours, and working conditions (e.g., health insurance, flexible work hours, safety standards). The NLRA allows the parties to negotiate over certain issues if they are mutually amenable to doing so. For example, if the parties choose to negotiate over treatment of retirees or job applicants, they may. They may also bargain over whether to close or move a plant, expand a location, or allow a union representative on the company board of directors. Finally, the parties are prohibited from bargaining anything that would violate the law such as pay below minimum wage or substandard family medical leave.
