Not giving a 60-day notice of termination would likely be considered a breach of good faith, as it does not give the other party adequate time to prepare and negotiate a new agreement. Using distributive bargaining (A) or not negotiating permissive bargaining topics (B) may be seen as aggressive or uncooperative, but may not necessarily be a breach of good faith. Negotiating at the employees' place of business (C) may not necessarily be a breach of good faith either, unless it creates an unfair advantage for one party or otherwise undermines the bargaining process.
