  2. What does Proposal 2(Collective Bargaining) mean • Collective bargaining is the negotiation between an employer and a labor union usually on wages, hours, and working conditions . • www3.merriam-webster.com/opendictionary

  3. Why is Proposal 2 (Collective bargaining) on the ballot • Collective bargaining was placed on the ballot in an effort to protect workers in all industries not just auto and teachers. • Collective bargaining would also protect Michigan from the infamous “right to work law” which is a law that protects anyone from being forced to join a union or pay union dues. (www.nrtw.org)

  4. Continued • Proposal 2 also limits Emergency Managers from nullifying current city contracts in effort to balance city budgets.

  5. Pro’s of Proposal 2 • Can lead to high performance workplace and management jointly engage in problem solving, addressing issues on an equal standing. • Management’s rights are clearly spelled out. • Promotes fairness and consistency in employment policies and personnel decisions within and across institutions.

  6. Pros (continued) • Employees may choose whether or not they want union representation. • Multi-year contracts may provide budgetary predictability on salary and other compensation issues. • Employers’ and employees’ rights are protected by binding collective bargaining agreement. • www.protectourjobs.com

  7. Cons of Proposal 2 • Creates significant polarization between employees and managers. • Increases bureaucratization and requires longer time for decision making. • Increases participation by external entities (e.g, arbitrators, State Labor Relations Board) in higher education’s decision making.

  8. Cons (continued) • Protects the status quo, thereby inhibiting innovation and change. This is particularly the case when change involves privatizations. • Eliminates the ability of management to make unilateral changes in wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment. • Restricts managements ability to deal directly with the individual employees. www.protectourjobs.com

  9. Conclusion • No matter what side you are on you have now been informed and are able to make a decision based on what you believe is right for you and your family.
