Answer to Question 1

Information is acquired from both internal and external sources. Internal data include grievance and accident records; employee performance reports; overtime figures; and reports on transfers, turnover, and absenteeism. External information should include statistics on the current economy, both at local and national levels; economic forecasts for the short and intermediate terms; copies of recently negotiated contracts by the adversary union to determine which issues the union considers important; data on the communities in which the company operates (cost of living, changes in cost of living, terms of recently negotiated labor contracts, and statistics on the labor market); and industry labor statistics to see which terms other organizations, employing similar types of personnel, are negotiating.
