What goes into collective bargaining preparation?  Lots - and a lot  sooner than you might think.  We talk about what 'collective bargaining'  means, the steps in preparing for bargaining, who is on the bargaining  team, preparing proposals and more.  

I speak with Jody Fraser who is a Director of Labour Relations and has  negotiated many agreements.  She describes two main types of bargaining:  traditional and interest-based bargaining.  She also talks about  generational bargaining and implementation.  This episode is packed with  information!
