Welsh Water (E): General Information and Confidential Instructions for Pat Cooper, Lead Negotiator for NUPE
Abstract
This is a four-player negotiation simulation in which a newly-privatized British water utility must deal with contentious unions and national collective-bargaining agreements. Explores the question of coalitions and multi-lateral negotiations, and the value of interlocking guarantees. This case contains the confidential information for one of the four roles.
