Q Instructions A Manchester, NH business is in the middle of a contract negotiation. The current pay rate for employees in the unit is $8.00 per hour and the union is seeking a $.50 increase per hour. The company has 35 employees in the bargaining unit and 7 employees in management. Management has come back to the table saying they cannot support such an increase and is seeking a wage freeze. As a representative on the labor bargaining team, what information, research, and data would you examine in preparing your defense? The only issue being discussed is the wage section. The company has provided the union with fiscal statements and budget outlines, which the union does not think are accurate. Where would look for information outside of the company? How would this information help you prepare your case?
