| The changing economic environment has produced
major economic shifts in issues at the bargaining table, such as the emergence of two-tier
wage programs and shop floor tactics. Cosmos Consulting Group knows that successful
negotiations must consider the real impact of these trends. We are directly linked to a computerized information bank which monitors collective bargaining trends, shifts in union negotiating techniques and changes in contract language. This information is vital to our negotiating team because intensive preparation is the key to successful negotiation strategies. Our negotiating team will bargain directly with the unions or prepare our clients who prefer to negotiate themselves. We will analyze union proposals; draft employer counter-proposals; develop necessary statistical data; advise on strikes, picket lines, slow-downs, lockouts and other issues; and draft the final contract. |
