2. Collective Bargaining
A collective bargaining unit is a group of employees that bargain as a group with their employer regarding
Wages
Hours
Benefits
other terms and conditions of employment
The end goal of collective bargaining is the collective bargaining agreement.
 There are basically three types of buyers: Those who shop on price alone, those who look at long term value and those who flaunt what they spend.  For those items bought on price alone, quality is cut to the bare minimum (and too often below) to achieve the lowest possible price.  Those who look at value, i.e. a products made to last through a long service life at a reasonable price make their decisions more slowly and do a fair amount of research first. Consumer's Digest, Road and Track, direct referrals from satisified previous customers are among the paths taken. Often a product is unimportant enough to be not worth the effort of shopping for value and so reverts back to a price only sale.  Those who like to flaunt, what we used to call people who bought a $5 shirt with a $10 alligator on it, are externally driven. High price is often the quality looked for, not the actual value of the product itself.  Competition works differently in these different markets. The first is completely price driven and if you can't find a way to cut prices below your competitor's, you're out of business fast.  In the value driven market, price, in and of itself, is only one of several variables used to determine what is bought. There is a conscious trade-off on the part of the buyer between price and expected quality of the product over is usage life.  In the ego driven market there is little correlation between price and quality...unless it's the "quality" of the celebrity showing them off.

3. Collective Bargaining
Negotiator– someone who tries to reach an agreement with those representing a different point of view, usually on behalf of other people.
Strike – when employees shut down a place of work by walking out. It is considered by many to be the workers’ ultimate threat.
Lock-Out– when management closes down the place of work.  This can be considered the bosses’ ultimate threat, especially when there are “scabs,” workers willing to replace strikers

4. Collective Bargaining
negotiation of wages and other conditions of employment by an organized body of employees
In collective bargaining, the union always has a collective interest since the negotiations are for the benefit of several employees.
Collective bargaining is not for one employer but for several
