Traditional Collective Bargaining
Traditionally, the principle of equal power frames negotiations for both the union and employers. Negotiating techniques labeled "rights-based" or "traditional" CB have been developed to allow each side to maintain the appearance of power in the face of confrontation. Based on experience of what constitutes success, each side will have given much thought to the composition of its bargaining committee, to the list of demands it will make, and to strategies for winning.
