Workplace Challenges Facing Employers and Workers Post Covid-19 Should Encourage Interest Based Barg

Distributive Bargaining v Interest-based Bargaining Power has a huge influence over the outcome of a negotiation. Distributive bargaining heavily relies on power to achieve the best result, which usually involves one party ‘losing’.
