Which party (union or management) would likely be in a stronger position to:

1. bargain for an improved health care plan;
2. organize a strike, walkout, or lockout; and
3. initiate an unfair labor practice?

Consider the three questions above within the context of the following two scenarios:

• high profits, an expanding market share, a healthy economy, and the cost of living rising less than 2% per year; and
• low profits, stagnant sales growth, uncertain economic conditions, and a projected 4% annual rise in cost of living.

Be sure to include rationale for your responses to all three questions, and make certain you consider how the answers may change depending on the two scenarios presented above.
