How large will the farm be, how many employees will it have. What are the present working conditions and wageswages, etc. In the morning each group prepares a strategy and contingencies to meet their respective contender in the afternoon collective bargaining exercise.
Collective bargaining begins after lunch.
Participants are told to pretend that by five they will have either come to an agreement or assume a strike. Conduct a one hour debriefing and permit participants to comment and exchange observations, and feelings.
