simulation

What a day with the collective bargaining simulation. It really showed me how much time, thought and effort goes into this process. The details are very important and sometimes intense. When we worked with the salaries and figured out the projected raises it was a real learning experience. I knew that we had to compound the salaries but I forgot all about the steps. It was amazing how much the salary increased when the steps were added. I also felt we grew as a team on how to strategize and prepare after each caucus. We discuss how we should present the proposals as well as what the proposals should be. All in all I feel through this experience I have a much better idea on how to run a bargaining session.
