Elliott, H. (2013, January 6). NHL, players reach tentative deal on new collective bargaining agreement. LA Times [Los Angeles], pp. 1-3.
Collective bargaining can occur in a variety of fields, from sports, to politics. It enables settlement of disputes that can benefit both parties as well as produce a result that isn't too one-sided. Collective bargaining is "the negotiation of wages and other conditions of employment by an organized body of employees" (Beal, Wickersham, & Kienast, 1972, p. 5). In an article by LA Times, collective bargaining arises in contract disputes of the NHL.
The collective bargaining dispute stems from the NHL players Association and their laor dispute with the NHL. "Kings fans had waited 45 years for their beloved team to win the Stanley Cup last June, so it seemed cruel that a labor dispute between the National Hockey League and the NHL Players' Assn. delayed their chance to see the Kings raise their championship banner at Staples Center. "(Elliott, 2013, p.1). The players wish to be paid more for their work in the NHL while the NHL want to keep a salary cap on players salaries below the suggested limit by the NHL players Association....
Consequences of such a labor dispute keep players from performing and delays future games. Fans require consistent player performance in order to keep paying to go see their favorite teams while the NHL does not want to overpay for the sport.
Players wanting more realize that the NHL as a whole make a lot of money from ticket sales. They want a bigger cut of the revenue realizing they are the reason for the ticket sales. They know they have some leverage in regards to contract disputes because if they stop playing, customers will stop buying. At the same time the NHL already pays the players quite well and some will not risk losing their positions within the league in order to argue for higher salaries.
NHL players ultimately feel they cannot perform to the best of their ability and continue generating max profit for the league without they are being paid a little over half of the revenue.
"The NHL locked players out on Sept. 15 after claiming teams could not operate profitably while paying players 57% of hockey-related revenue they received in the final year of the previous labor deal. "(Elliott, 2013, p.2). The NHL feel…

The fact that there was need for stiffened penalties shows how the players could have been using hard drugs or human growth hormones to enhance their performance. On the other hand, it seems like most of the players were being punished without substantial evidence which lay on the line their careers hence thought it best to include a neutral panel of experts to clarify matters.

Collective Bargaining State the nature of the collective bargaining dispute. The nature of the dispute occurred in the State of Oregon. What is happening is the state has been aggressively cutting funds for education. This is because they are seeing declining tax receipts (which is forcing legislators to make drastic changes). To achieve these objectives, they have given school districts greater amounts of authority in determining where these reductions will take place.

But when it just recently occurred in 2004 at a store in Jonquiere, British Columbia, the reader must appreciate that a real battle had been won. The original efforts of that particular store for example had the local labor Commission reject certification by a margin of 74 to 65. When the union announced that it won the coveted certification at Quebec, it was quite a blow to the retailer.

It is argued that while land tenure data can be instrumental in addressing land-related conflicts, much of the practical value is lost because of inconsistency of information and because information is not readily accessible, or cannot be combined to allow for greater depth of analysis. In practice, this means that policy-makers cannot make immediate use of the information that is available because additional time and expense are required either
