I was an executive level manager at the time. My understanding is that employers are required to "bargain in good faith" and the easiest way to demonstrate good faith is by making concessions.
- bwestergard 4y agoThis is a common misunderstanding. For example, an employer can propose a wage cut (obviously not a concession) as part of good faith bargaining. To your point, making concessions will often prevent any worker (or the union as a body) from filing an Unfair Labor Practice charge. But employers with good counsel seldom worry about such charges, because the penalties are so weak.
- petre 4y agoSay I don't like bargaining or know how to bargain with someone in a position of power. I'd rather have a union do it for me. An organisation should have more leverage and employ people who are better negotiators and who concern themselves with employee rights. It's just like companies that are outsourcing work or hiring HR positions to hire and fire people or to negotiate pay.
