Do you spend your days fighting one employee relations fire after another? It may seem like job security, but it is stressful and unproductive.

Model Contract Clauses is an easy-to-use reference manual. Each contract subject includes: an introduction to each contrast subject; a "drafting guide" to each subject; a "plain English" summary of the sample clauses; actual model clauses; and pages for taking notes and drafting proposals. Most sections have between three and five sample clauses. The clauses have been selected for being representative examples of clauses you might expect to find in most labor agreements. The idea is to expose the reader to as many different types of solutions to these bargaining issues as possible. This book is both a reference guide and a workbook. It can be effectively used to learn some of the finer points of collective bargaining strategy, particularly regarding effective drafting. it can also be used "on the fly" during negotiations to help refine proposals and counterproposals.
