In Module 4, we discussed various core objectives of collective bargaining within the aviation industry. You will now review further, the contractual negotiations process and the leverage that unions are able to utilize within the contractual negotiations process.
Discuss how negotiating, as a union, can create more or less bargaining power and leverage within the aviation industry. Include a minimum of three specific points in your discussion.
You are encouraged to illustrate your answer with an example. Please locate a peer-reviewed article from an external site to support your viewpoints.
