There are plenty of alternatives out there.
Interest based bargaining is just one.
There are many fancy names for them.
Union- busting techniques/programs- all of them.
They are DESIGNED to soften the resolve of labor, period.
They are designed by management consultants ( "mediation experts" ).
Management loves to introduce them, because they help soften labor and
create and enhance management / labor "relationships". This is basically
the Stockholm Syndrome, we're talking about here. So, labor can help "feel" management's pain, and "come over, farther" to their side of thinking.
Management's "numbers" (financial figures) are fantasy.
The manipulative ability of management to play w/ the numbers, and/or
project interpretation of those numbers is infinite (almost).
In other words, "liars figure, & figures lie".
Pilots (around the world) have had enough!
The KISS principle will work well again.
