Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the United States, if there is a bona fide impasse (meaning a genuine deadlock in negotiations) between an employer and a union, the employer has the right to implement its final offer to the union unilaterally. This is known as a "last, best, and final offer" and can only be done after the parties have engaged in good faith collective bargaining and have exhausted all other possible means of resolving the dispute. However, this is not allowed in some other countries, where there may be different rules and procedures for resolving labor disputes.
