The union representing the delivery drivers at QuickShip Logistics is negotiating a new contract with management. The primary issue on the table is a wage increase to match rising living costs, which the union initially proposed at 8%. However, QuickShip has faced significant financial setbacks recently and insists it can only afford a 2% increase. Management emphasizes that any higher wage increase might lead to layoffs or reduced work hours. After several rounds of negotiations, the union decides to accept the 2% wage increase proposed by QuickShip, recognizing the company’s financial struggles. In exchange, the union secures a commitment from management to revisit wage discussions in six months if the company’s financial situation improves. In this scenario, which conflict resolution style did the union use?
