Adam Baxter Company/Local 190: 1978 Negotiation, Baxter Management Confidential Information
By: Kathleen L. McGinn and Victoria Medvec
Abstract
Includes a series of three negotiation exercises portraying management/labor relations at ABC over a period of seven years. ABC, initially a family-owned business, had prided itself on its cooperative relationship with its union, Local 190. With the skyrocketing inflation of the 1970s, management considered drastic changes. Management and labor would undergo a series of negotiations over wages, benefits, and work conditions at ABC's main plant in Deloitte, Iowa.
