I&rsquo;m the chair of the negotiation committee for the staff association at my workplace. As our agreement expires at the end of August, we are now preparing for the next round of negotiations and I am gathering information to help our group decide how to proceed.

With our last negotiation, we employed interest-based bargaining without a hired negotiator (we did have a lawyer review our agreement). This time around, we want to explore the available options so we can make an informed decision on how best to proceed.

I&rsquo;m interested in finding out how it would work if our association were to hire your firm to conduct negotiations on our behalf, ie. the costs involved, the style of negotiation that would be employed, etc. 

Thank you.
