Collective bargaining, a core social institution, faces a fundamental transformational challenge.

Awareness and use of interest‐based bargaining principles is widespread but complicated by underlying tensions between labor and management. The findings illustrate the value of conducting an institutional‐level analysis of a negotiations process.
