Abstract

Concession bargaining reappeared with great intensity and frequency at the start of the twenty-first century. We witnessed a new ultra-concession bargaining that was not based on the usual assumptions of the 1980s first-wave concession bargaining. Ultra-concession bargaining began at the airlines, was widely adapted, again, by the Detroit Three (the Detroit automakers, i.e., General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler) and the auto parts makers, and then spread through manufacturing. It took hold in the public sector as employers tried not only to cut labor costs to reduce budget gaps but also to weaken and displace unions as well. Six brief bargaining profiles and a review of the union upheaval in Wisconsin suggest the diversity and intensity of the new collective bargaining.
