Abstract

This paper analyzes the collective bargaining process in the Guatemalan public sector through data collected in governmental documents and interviews with key participants in that process. The results reveal a model of “Union Boulwarism” in which public employee unions dominate collective bargaining through tactics of whipsawing, wildcat strikes and the emplazamiento. The paper concludes with recommendations for developing a model to encourage bargaining in good faith.
