The below essay is a formal report bringing to your attention the importance of fighting for broader-based bargaining’ or ‘sectoral bargaining’ in the franchise business model based on the major problems employees undergo. Since most employees are unskilled/ semiskilled or even on temporary/ part time employment, it is advisable that there is a union that fights for their rights to avoid being taken advantage of by the employer.

Executive Summary
The industrial relations model in most countries and sectors of the economy is founded on the Labour Relations Act of 1995. This model is unable to cater for the problem evidenced in the modern labour market in which most workers are absorbed by the growing employment in non-standard work and small workplaces. This prevents access to collective bargaining for so many employees as it is hard for collective bargaining to work in the current economy. The greatest adverse impact of the current model is felt by vulnerable workers absorbed in precarious works where workers feature prominently including restaurants and fast foods, retail, and accommodation among other service industries. It is therefore important as proposed by Premier Kathleen Wynne to consider the benefits of broader-based or sectoral bargaining in order to help employees in non-standard work enjoy their rights while working.
Introduction
It is notable that the current labour relations model does not fit people absorbed in non-standard work and small workplaces. This is based on the limitation it has on collective bargaining. It is as a result of this reason that the franchise business model should consider a model that would cater for the needs of all employees irrespective of where they work in or the types of roles assigned to them. According to Bieler and Lindberg (2010), it is notable that with the current ineffective model, more harm is felt by employees in restaurants among other small businesses in the service industry. This way, Kruse, Freeman and Blasi (2010) argue that broader-based bargaining or sectoral bargaining is a good alternative for the old industrial relations model. It is therefore important to understand the benefits this new model have while highlighting the probable challenges that might be experienced and thus addressed before the new model can be implemented.

Even though broader-based bargaining is the solution to many evidenced problems, it is features in some sectors but with either pattern bargaining or formal centralised bargaining. Howe...
