Research: three main sources of data are settlement information, sample contract clauses, and inflation statistics. Meetings (s. 17: within 15 days of notice to bargain): usually away from the worksite. Settlements are most likely to take place right at the strike deadline. Votes (e. g. for possible strike or a final offer vote). Er can require the union to take a final offer vote, if er believes that the union does not reflect the views of the workers when it rejects the er"s offer (s. 42). The final offer must conclusively deal with all matters in dispute between the parties. An application for a final offer vote is made to the mol. This option may be taken before or after a strike or lockout has taken place.
