Collective Bargaining During Times of Crisis: Recommendations from the COVID‐19 Pandemic	2020-05-19		.txt	text/plain	4121	176	42	In our roles as public management and policy scholars, and using our experience as practicing public labor relations leaders, we describe the challenges of collective bargaining during the COVID-19 pandemic and present five general recommendations for public sector unions impact bargaining during times of crisis: 1) Initiate negotiations with leadership early and often; 2) Mobilize union members and the workforce represented by the collective bargaining agreement immediately; 3) Prioritize issues for the workforce groups most affected by the crisis; 4) Integrate governmental crisis response to negotiations 5) Formalize impact bargaining agreements. Prior to the pandemic, this same union has packed the room at Board of Trustees (BoT) meetings (Florida State University Board of Trustees, 2020), utilizing the public comment section at the front end of these public, live streamed meetings to have several speakers attest to the harmful deficiencies and unsavory working conditions of GAs. During times when physical presence is impossible, such as during mandatory social distancing orders adopted in response to COVID-19, there are alternative modes of group mobilization that are effective and raise the profile of one"s bargaining efforts.	./cache/cord-338934-61wnbf1t.txt	./txt/cord-338934-61wnbf1t.txt
