7.3.1 Labor's Initial Demand

If the current contract expires during the year, Labor will ask for a 10% increase across the board for wage and benefits based on the current Industry Best. For example, if the Industry Best wage is currently $20.00 / Hour, Labor demands $22.00 / Hour.

At the beginning of the simulation, all contracts are equal- they are all "Industry Best."  If you are entering a second or third labor negotiation, check the "HR/TQM/Sustainability Report," Page 12 of the Courier to determine the current Industry Best.
