Negotiation practice
The Car factory

Student A
You are the factory manager. You need to cut $5 million a year from your budget.
This either means: making 20% of staff redundant or giving everyone a 20% pay cut.
You are also unhappy with the amount of public holidays your country has and you
want your employees to work only half of them.
If your demands aren’t met you are considering moving the factory to Germany
where the pay is higher but there are fewer public holidays and it’s possible that you
could get a subsidy from the government.
Student B
You are a trade union leader for the workers. You are unhappy with the idea of a pay
cut because workers are already not paid well. Also you don’t want to lose 20% of
staff and work through public holidays, but equally you don’t want the factory to
move to Germany.
Student C
You are a local politician. You don’t want workers to lose their jobs, neither do you
want them to work through public holidays because you think it’s unconstitutional –
but equally you don’t want to lose the factory.
You have $5 million that could be used to subsidise the factory over the next five
years. This would save jobs, but this money has already been allocated to hospitals
and sanitation. Also, you don’t see why the government should pay private
businesses to stay in their country.

Deduction and possibility in past
The case of John Roberts

Ask your class to imagine that they are a jury who have been asked to judge this imaginary

b) Second degree murder: No plan but intended to kill.
c) Voluntary manslaughter: Killing someone by accident but intending to harm them.
d) Involuntary manslaughter: Killing someone by accident e.g. in a traffic accident.

Every time it happens he calls the police but they never find the criminals. One night the
house is burgled again and Mr Roberts shoots dead one of the burglars with his army
revolver while he is trying to escape through the back door. The burglar was 20.
1) The burglar was shot in the back.

2) Mr Roberts had been burgled so many times he kept a gun by his bed.

neighbour’s dog.
4) Mr Roberts had served in war and had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress
