[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1102937, member: 22880"] On this one, you are incorrect. Negotiating labor contracts are unlike any other contract. There are specific rules and procedures under NLRA [URL="http://www.nlrb.gov/national-labor-relations-act"]National Labor Relations Act | NLRB[/URL] Specifically.... (d) [Obligation to bargain collectively] For the purposes of this section, to bargain collectively is the performance of the mutual obligation of the employer and the representative of the employees to meet at reasonable times and [U][B]confer in good faith with respect to wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment[/B][/U], or the negotiation of an agreement or any question arising thereunder, and the execution of a written contract incorporating any agreement reached if requested by either party, but such obligation does not compel either party to agree to a proposal or require the making of a concession: Provided, That where there is in effect a collective- bargaining contract covering employees in an industry affecting commerce, the duty to bargain collectively shall also mean that no party to such contract shall terminate or modify such contract, unless the party desiring such termination or modification-- An employer entering into the very structured bargaining process by attempting to state, "We start at minimum wage and go from there", is not bargaining in good faith. Don't want to get into a convoluted legal argument - since it would serve no purpose, but rest assured, the 'starting point' in the bargaining process under NLRA/RLA is current wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment. The organized employee's don't start from 'scratch'. [/QUOTE]
