CBA Simulation

This week the professor will assign each team to either the union-side or management-side.

This process includes each student reviewing both contracts individually and making changes to the contract that are favorable to their position (union or management). The task should reflect their wish list, i.e. what changes you would want to make if you did not have to bargain with the other side. For the sake of time, the professor will disseminate two (2) completed contract proposals (provisions) into negotiation (one proposal from the union and one proposal from management). Each negotiating team will review the proposals and negotiate the proposals, as is. Neither negotiating team is permitted to change the proposals, just add the negotiation language.

Management's Proposal

Flex-Time Schedule Policy:

All employees are expected to be at work during regular shift hours unless approval is granted for a flexible work schedule (flextime).

Flextime is a work schedule with time of arrival and departure that differs from the standard operating hours by not more than two hours.

Supervisors approve flextime on a case-by-case basis. Full-time employees who have completed at least six months of employment are eligible for flextime. The employee must first discuss possible flextime arrangements with his/her supervisor and then submit a written request using the Flextime Request Form. The supervisor will approve or deny the flextime request based on staffing needs, the employee's job duties, the employee's work record and the employee's ability to temporarily or permanently return to a standard work schedule when needed.

A flextime arrangement may be suspended or cancelled at any time. Exempt employees must depart from any flextime schedule to perform their jobs. Non-exempt employees may be asked to work overtime regardless of a flextime schedule.
