Reflect on the role of the instructor as a mediator or arbitrator.

Students should reflect on the Discussion Topic from Module Three and their experiences with the negotiating process. Include the following details in your response:

• A copy of the agreed-upon collective bargaining agreement section on employee safety (posted in the Discussion Topic)
• A one-page personal account of the negotiating process. This account needs to include:
  • A summary of the key challenges or points of friction.
  • An analysis of the strength of the other positions – were their positions weak and not supported well, or just the opposite?
  • A short review of interest-based bargaining and distributive bargaining methods and a summary of which one works best in this situation.
  • Reflect on the role of the instructor as a mediator or arbitrator. Was it helpful to have someone in this role or did it create additional challenges?
  • A conclusion about the outcome – did it favor one side or the other
