Hi enormously generous and thoughtful colleagues,
I am doing some research on what is popularly called "interest-based"
bargaining (IBB). For those unfamiliar with the term, IBB is a process
that is intended to be more collaborative than traditional bargaining.
One common aspect of IBB, is the creation of various committees or teams
consisting of both union and management that work out (creative if
possible) solutions to the various issues being the negotiated.
I'm trying to find out if anyone on this list knows of negotiations that
have involved OST or other self-organizing principles. One of the
reasons I'm asking is that unions are often sceptical of IBB because
they think that dividing individual members into various committees
partially undermines their collective voice, which in essence is the
core of union power. Thus before considering such an approach, they will
likely want some assurance that it can work in their interest.
Hope there is someone with experience and insight. :)
Thanks,
Bui Petersen
