Answer2)Collective bargaining has long been viewed by scholars as an "art." More recently, however, scholars have begun to see collective bargaining as a "science."

but as we know, science posses knowledge which ell us about the relationship between cause and effect of the action

and in collective barganing. employers and union are negotiating over facts and figures of wages, incentives, other things in kinds or cash which further effect in their working also

so probably it is science as it relate with the cause of settling the agreement which in result effecsts the future decision of both employer and union during any issues and conflict..

Answer 3)From an employer's point of view, there are advantages and disadvantages in reducing a grievance to a formal written complaint.

As according to the comparision of both type of complaints:

in formal decorum, verbal complaint make it informal aand also apart from being formal , written complaints are precise and to the point, which as a employer finds very effective while tackling whole company or organisation at one time.

but seeing the other side of coin one disadvantage which can be overcome through verbal is, sometimes the exact complaint cannot be described properly in few words which can be expressed by the voice modulation done along with words,i.e. verbal form

but by comparing both, still written format is preferable as employer.

Answer4) the management of a company or the union itself do prefer not to have an arbitration clause contained in a negotiated collective agreement because they are bound to the decision of arbitration and cannot keep their choices and also almost clause are already mentioned in the agreement so arbitration clause and and arbitration cost both are excluded,

arbitration refers to the use of one common person among both parties( called artibutor ) to settle the disputes outside the court.

in my view point, it is important to add arbitration clause as conflicts are part of work, where there will be lot of men working together over a period of time there will surely be conflict on one thing or the other but to settle the dispute without ruining the reputation or goodwill of company by taking the matter to the court , it is best to add arbitration clause.

this will not only settle down outside instead protect the goodwill also it is cost effective, when compared to the legal cost incurred at the courts.

ANSWER5)collective bargaining agreement is a common ground for the union and the employer to negotiate on the very possible clause and settle at common interest.One of the main clause of agreement is about the  the management of a company or the union itself prefer not to have an arbitration clause contained in a negotiated collective agreement.

as part of union , many sub clauses of wags and salaries should be discussed

like; fringe benefits, senority or experience benefits and exepmtions or relaxation, over time payments, retirement payments, above this important is the actual wages, which must be according to part of union must be hourly basis and also with the detialed information about the minimum to maximum wage rate and also the clause of calculation bonus pay scale and monthly increment on sales or output basis and yearly increment on consistency and percentage basis,basically focusing on every penny to be paid of which is worthful for the company.

there should be clause regarding the calculation of bonus and increment and few patterns of calculation including both, like considering the promotion and increasing status with salary wages,performance monthly and yearly can be considered for increment.
