1. Pros and Cons for the management in the articles
Article 1
The first article is concerning the rights of the faculty employees. From the point of view
of the management, this is an important article as this can help to create better relationships
between the management of the college and the employees. Both the parties would have copies
of the agreement. Hence, it would become easier for the management to settle the various
disputes that can arise in the future. Collective bargaining processes can be more advantageous
for the management as the collective agreement is being signed by both the parties (Camerer,
Nave, & Smith, 2019). It would be more advantageous for the management to communicate their
terms to the employees.
One major disadvantage of the article is that the management would always have to strive
to maintain greater transparency in their operations. If discrepancies occur in the dispute
resolution mechanism, the management can be held liable. In this case the management can be
subject to harsh punishments. A major disadvantage of the article is that it gives the union more
power to question the decisions of the management as all the contract information would be
present with them. The mediation process for the collective bargaining might not to effective
enough to solve all major disputes.
Article 2
This article is in regards to academic freedom. This provides the students and the other
employees the right to learn, teach, question and examine. An advantage of this article is that it
provides the management with better control over the governance of the academic areas. It
provides further advantage to the management concerning the development of an effective
framework to impart better knowledge to the students. Freedom to conduct teaching would
provide the management with a better scope for improving their employee relationships. Many
disputes can be avoided due to this freedom. Hence, from the management point of view this can
improve the efficiency of operations.
Some of the cons of this articles are related to the freedom to question the authority of the
management. The clauses provides more freedom to the students and the employees to question
the organization if they deem necessary. The college would not be able to maintain the
confidentiality of some of their documents. A major disadvantage is that the college would have
to maintain transparency in all their works (Hwang, 2018). This can mean that major conflicts
can arise between the college and its employees. Moreover, the college has been restricted to get
into agreements with other post-secondary organizations that can affect the work of the
bargaining units.
2. Presentation of changes to future collective bargaining
In future collective bargaining processes a clearer and more engaging framework of
dispute management needs to be created. It is important to note that the article clauses can cause
significant grievances among the parties that are engaged. For collective bargaining, the changes
need to be made to the articles by identifying the exact areas that can cause grievances. The
