This is a collective bargaining simulation created by John W. Budd for use in labor relations courses. The collective bargaining agreement (contract, for short) between The Zinnia, a 300-room hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Local H-56 of the International Union of Service Workers and Allied Employees expires soon [as specified by your instructor]. Participants must explore the The Zinnia's website and Local H-56's website to learn about the environment and their priorities and constraints. Bargaining can take place in person or if the instructor arranges, via e-mail, chat, or instant messaging.

This simulation accompanies my textbook, Labor Relations: Striking a Balance (McGraw-Hill/Irwin), but can also be used by other interested instructors.
