Dear All,
I am working with a manufacturing company where we have multiple unions to deal with on a daily basis. Now is the time when we need to settle a long-term settlement (Agreement) with the unions. I request all of you to please suggest multiple demands from the management side that we can present to the unions. If anyone has good knowledge.
Thank you.

Instead of management demands, put it as "business need." This will help negotiate with unions in a much better way. If you present it as a management demand, it will irritate unions.

Dear Ajay,
In a manufacturing industry which is predominantly labor-intensive and the wage level has reached the industry-cum-regional average, the normal tactic of management is to present counter demands to the unions of workers regarding higher productivity and matters related to the reduction of manufacturing costs. Therefore, it cannot be merely a tactical formality to just slow down the speed and intensity of the bargaining power of the trade unions involved in the negotiations.
Many factors, such as the existing labor cost ratio, average age of the workers, cost of indirect benefits (both statutory and conventional), potential areas of production where productivity can be increased without improvements to the plant and machinery, the feasibility of introducing any incentive scheme, and the like, have to be taken into account. In addition, the management's negotiation team should consist of competent individuals in their respective fields. It would be beneficial to engage the services of an industrial relations consultant from your area.
Kind regards,

Where there are multiple unions to deal with, it is better to officially recognize one union as the "Bargaining agent" that has the majority of the workmen as members. Initially, you may have to face resistance from other unions; however, at a later date, things would be easier to handle and negotiate with one union as the recognized union.
