Wage Negotiation Structures

Wage negotiation structures refer to the organized processes and systems through which employees and employers determine pay rates. These structures can include individual negotiations, collective bargaining (where groups of employees, often represented by unions, negotiate as a team), and standardized pay scales set by companies or industries. Each method has its advantages: individual negotiations may allow for personal considerations, while collective bargaining can strengthen employees' negotiating power. Ultimately, these structures aim to establish fair compensation reflecting job value, market conditions, and economic factors, ensuring both sides reach an agreement that suits their needs.
