'Ridgecrest School Dispute sign Report Teachers’ Association 11/15/12 In order to annex combined interests and reach the P beto Efficient Frontier, our out situation is to build trust by manduction information about our interests and priorities. In addition, sharing information can help get to a positive relationship with the board of cultivation and can increase the chances that they leave al ace reciprocate that behavior by braggy a appearance information about their interests and priorities.Given that some(prenominal) people be reluctant to apportion information with the new(prenominal) perspective, we also aim on asking the Board of Education m whatever questions so that we can take on from what is not said as thoroughly as from what is said. An different schema we testament practice to create nourish is to diagnose multiple offers simultaneously beca subprogram it helps to collect worth(predicate) information and it makes us appear more(prenom inal) than flexible. This is a particularly big outline addicted that we can compromise on various issues if the separate fount is uncoerced to offer us some concessions on other matters in return.For instance, we would be instinctive to accept a formula in which any pay received for performing civic duty would be deducted from fix pay if the board is leading to project our demands for salary acceptably (See planning archive for what is acceptable). The cost-cutting strategy is useful in that it allows for one party to get what it unavoidablenesss while the other has the costs associated with its concession reduced or eliminated. This is a strategy we will use by proposing to the other side a budget that we get under ones skin come up with that minimizes our concessions while still allowing them to get what they need (See given Budget Proposal).We have fain this budget so that when the other side claims that there is no other way expenditures can be cut, we can fork up them an alternative solution. In addition, we also want to trade off differences in interests and priorities in order to create cherish. We plan on doing this by trading issues that are closely important to us such as salary and workload for issues that are close important to the other side. We realize that this powerfulness be a problem if the interests that are most important to us are also most important to the other side.But, there might be issues that are significantly more important in terms of other issues to one side than they are to the other side. Finally, we plan on searching for post-settlement settlements in order to style for an stopment that is better for both sides. erst we have created the most possible value that can be created, we will use strategies to claim value. First, we will open crisply given that initial positions act as anchors and affect the perception of what outcomes are possible. We will do this by asking for more than our target (See plan ning document for target).For example, we will ask for a $7,000 increase in salaries for lower levels and reduce the pupil/ instructor ratio to 13:1. We realize that the other side will not agree to this, but it will still be helpful as an anchor. Another strategy we will use to claim value is to give credible reasons for our interests whenever possible (See Issues compendium for several reasons). For instance, the reason we want an increase in salaries is because we have not had any salary increases in years and our workday is longer than the NJ average (See attached for NJ average). If we do not have a credible reason for an interest, and so we will use a dupery reason.In addition, we will know what interests we are spontaneous and not unbidden to give concessions on (See planning document for concessions). This is important given that there are so more issues in this negotiation that we can compromise on if the other side is impulsive to give us something else in return. F inally, we are prepared to make smaller concessions to bespeak that we are reaching our bottom line without revealing our bottom line. This is always an important strategy because we want a compete that is close to our target, but are willing to accept any deal that is at or above our bottom line.\r\n'
