1.Imagine that a textile company is in the middle of negotiations with workers over wage rates, health care costs, and pension benefit plans.

2. As a manager, I’ll start by analyzing the market’s performance over the past year and how well our company has done in contrast to the industry median. This will enable me to determine whether I am underpaying my employees in light of the company’s revenue.

I will also consult with local government representatives and economists to assess the implications of the most recent rise in the cost of living as well as whether the pay raises and perks offered are in keeping with the needs of the region.
