You are the HR manager at FoodFaire, a local grocery store. Your clerks belong to the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, which has threatened a strike in 11 days unless their demands are met. They are asking for a 12% raise, and you can offer them only 4%. You can almost feel the hours ticking by—this is a critically important negotiation, and neither party really wants the strike. The conflict-handling technique is most appropriate in this situation.

Answer:

Compromising/Reconciling

Step-by-step explanation:

In conflicts like these where both parties don't want the strike they will have to think about a middle path where both parties have to give up something a meet at a middle point.

This kind of conflict resolution has a negative effect on both parties because both parties will think that they have lost something its a lose-lose kind of situation. This kind of resolution is also not very long lasting but for the time being this technique will be useful.
