1.The President/owner of a company was so disgusted over the unreasonable demands of the union. He was also incensed by the arrogant behavior of the union officers. A day before the start of the CBA negotiations, without consulting his Board of Directors, he decided to lockout all employees, close shop, stop the entire business operations of the company. Is the lockout legal or illegal? Why?

2.After 4 months of negotiations, the union declared a deadlock and filed a notice of strike. On the 16th day from filing of the notice, the union submitted to the general membership for secret balloting its intention to strike. Seeing the clear mandate of the members, the union struck on the 18th day from date of filing of the notice to strike. Is the strike legal or illegal? Why?

How to improve linguistic communication in negotiations.

By Dr. Piotr Jednaszewski

Even the best prepared negotiators with regard to product and company presentation in all assumed and pre-assessed aspects of further international talks can fail with luck of understanding the other party. So, here comes my definition of understanding based on research, talks and negotiations  with people from over  40 different countries all over the globe.

First, do a lot of homework on the type of business you’re dealing with, its unique problems, profit margins, challenges, back end and resources. You can use the Internet, speak to the competition, read industry publications and talk with company employees, vendors and customers. Also, speak to fellow Joint Venture Forum Members at your locals meeting, on the Internet and on your Members Only Conference calls. Six degrees of Separation means everybody knows people and you’re looking for contacts that can fast-track your information collection and due diligence.

Next, do serious research on the person you’re dealing with. Naturally, you should be negotiating with the decision maker. What is his or her “Hot Button”? What do they really, really want? What keeps them awake at night? What are their values, hopes, dreams, fears and aspirations? WHY do they want what they say they want? How much and what will it take to really get their undivided attention? You need to craft and personalize the Joint Venture to take full advantage of this knowledge to offer the ultimate benefit, a deal which is too good to be refused.

In other words, what possibilities should I look into, both at my current company (a large, engineering corporation) and elsewhere? Advancement, job seeking, salary negotiation, management, consulting, etc…

Like millions of Americans, are you presently or do you foresee yourself being in the job market?  Perhaps you are at the end of a long interview and filtering process.  Regardless of your status, current global financial conditions are worsening and it is imperative that you are able to negotiate salary terms in today’s job market. The line between what you want and what you need has become finer in the past twelve months.  Salaries have decreased even in once highly paid areas like New York City.  Job seekers find themselves taking drastic measures like moving their families to other states in order to secure a new position.  To save money, companies offer less benefits, fewer perks and lower compensation.

There are hundreds if not thousands of articles detailing the desperate situations of many Americans faced with unemployment.  Too many individuals are having a hard time because the market is extremely competitive or they simply do not understand the survival requirements for the new rat race.  A growing concern amongst the employed and unemployed is stability.  Many are unable to pay their bills, are facing foreclosure and even bankruptcy.  Small luxuries are no longer affordable and families now take staycations instead of vacations.

This month I’ll share two financially ruinous negotiating tactics often made by beginning copywriters. Both recently came from my coaching students.

Financially ruinous negotiating tactic #1 comes from a successful book author who is adding copywriting to his writing skill set. Here, paraphrased, is a comment he made to me:

“My client seems unhappy with the work. I’m thinking of telling her she doesn’t have to pay the final 50 percent.”

Offering your seminars through a local community
college can be a great way to generate income and
clients … without the hassles of renting a meeting
room, handling logistics or doing the marketing.
You turn in your course description … then show
up to teach.

Unfortunately, the reality is not so pretty. The
primary tool used to promote events is a course
catalog, which means your seminar will be listed
alongside hundreds of other courses … and your
course description will only be a few lines long.
(If you’re lucky, you might get a longer slightly
longer description online … or maybe even be listed
in a brochure that promotes 6 to 12 related courses,
such as business management courses.)

When we realize that virtually every aspect of our business and personal life requires negotiation, the benefit of being a better, more efficient negotiator is clear.

Negotiating skills are not usually part of our formal education, though we use these skills all day, every day. These skills are at the very core of both our professional and personal lives. It doesn’t matter if we run General Motors or the corner snowball stand or our households, we all have to communicate and convince effectively.

What other training besides:
suicide intervention, hostage negotiation, firearm and riot training
do the BRITISH police officers have to do to keep their skills up-to-date and to prepare for real life incidents?

This isnt to get INTO the police force, it’s for when you’re already part of the force.
