	Bargaining - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bargaining is a type of negotiation in which the buyer and seller of a good or service dispute the price which will be paid and the exact nature of the transaction that will take place, and eventually come to an agreement.
		Examples of such situations would be the bargaining involved in a labour union and the directors of a company negotiating wage increases, the dispute between two communities about the distribution of a common territory or the conditions under which two countries can start a programme of nuclear disarmament.
		A bargaining game for two players is defined as a pair (F,d) where F is the set of possible joint utility allocations (possible agreements), and d is the disagreement point.

	Collective bargaining - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Collective bargaining is the process of negotiation between representatives of a union and employers (represented by management) in respect of the terms and conditions of employment of employees, such as wages, hours of work, working conditions and grievance procedures, and about the rights and responsibilities of trade unions.
		The term is reputed to have been coined by the British academic Beatrice Webb in the late 19th century to describe a process alternative to that of individual bargaining between an employer and its individual employees.
		In Britain collective bargaining has been, and has been endorsed as, the dominant and most appropriate means of regulating workers' terms and conditions of employment, in line with ILO Convention No. 84 for many years.

	COLLECTIVE BARGAINING NEGOTIATIONS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		This Paper addresses the differences between negotiation and collective bargaining, the nature of collective bargaining, the conditions necessary for successful collective bargaining, some of the advantages of collective bargaining, issues of concern for employers and guidelines for employers on the process of bargaining itself from the pre-negotiation stage to the agreement itself.
		While collective bargaining may take the form of haggling, ideally it should involve adjusting the respective positions of the parties in a way that is satisfactory to all, for reasons explained in the Paper entitled "Principles of Negotiation".
		Collective bargaining could also be defined as negotiations relating to terms of employment and conditions of work between an employer, a group of employers or an employers' organization on the one hand, and representative workers' organizations on the other, with a view to reaching agreement.

	The Bargaining Table (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Within the collective bargaining system, gradual change may be expected to continue in at least four areas: the subjects of bargaining; the structure of bargaining; the legal framework of bargaining; and the role of government in the bargaining process.
		An area where continuing evolution may be expected relates to the structure of bargaining, that is: the level at which different issues should be resolved; the range of jobs, territory, and employees to be governed by the agreement; and the relations among the different craft unions bargaining with a common employer.
		Among the pressures on the bargaining system will be: the vulnerability of the American economy to political acts abroad and to change in world aggregate demand; the effect of foreign wage rates and labor market policies on domestic employment relations; and the concern that foreign imports are taking American jobs.

		In particular, sentence bargaining, which had been the preferred mode of case disposition, came to virtual halt and most cases were sentenced at open hearings after the judge heard arguments from both defense and prosecution.
		Charge bargaining, which had been secondary to sentence recommendations as the mode of negotiations prior to the ban, was infrequent for a period of time after the ban, but during the 1980s became much more important as a means of case disposition.
		While the comparative contributions of presumptive sentencing, the plea bargaining ban and the changes in public attitudes in favor of tougher sentences are not necessarily clear, it is apparent that these factors in some combination (together with factors of population and resource increases) have led to overall longer sentences and a much larger prison population.

		Its purpose may be either a discussion of the terms and conditions of employment (wages, work hours, job safety, or job security) or a consideration of the collective relations between both sides (the right to organize workers, recognition of a union, or a guarantee of no reprisals against the workers if a strike has occurred).

		Determining who should be in the bargaining unit is often a complicated and time-consuming process, with both the employer and the labor organization trying to increase their strengths.
