The “new paradigm” Mr. Bliss speaks of includes “management rights” clauses in contracts. But the idea that a “management rights” clause is needed at all is an admission we live in a bizarro world where inmates are running the asylum. Management is called “management” for a reason. Management does not need a clause in a contract to tell them their “rights”, or their job. We already have laws, regulations, policies and accepted standard practices which govern. If these are broken, a contract is not a fix, but a trojan horse. You are opening up to negotiation and arbitration something that was never before negotiable. Ultimately, the will and rights of the People are further diminished.
