In what ways does public sector bargaining differ from private sector bargaining?

What will be an ideal response?

While there are many similarities between public and private sector bargaining, there are some key differences. First, the laws governing public sector bargaining are much more varied than in the private sector. Federal employees are covered by federal laws while state, county, and municipal employees are covered by laws passed in each individual state. State laws can differ quite dramatically. For example, some states require that negotiations take place in public (sunshine laws), put greater (or lesser) restrictions on what subjects can be bargained, include different dispute resolution procedures, and limit or prohibit the right to strike. Further, the structure of government and its political nature introduces new complexities to the negotiating process and requires multilateral bargaining with the many different parties that have a stake in the outcome of negotiations.
