Requirement

4. The adversarial model against cooperative bargaining

Required

A comparison rather than two definitions, so the answer has to say what each model assumes about the other side and what each produces. Short, and it follows naturally from the vocabulary in requirement 3.

Notes and warnings

Note. A COMPARISON, NOT TWO DEFINITIONS. The requirement asks what the adversarial model of labor-management relations means AS COMPARED WITH a cooperative-bargaining style, so an answer that defines each in turn and stops has not finished. What each model assumes about the other side, and what each tends to produce, is the comparison being asked for. This follows on naturally from requirement 3, since the vocabulary there is what the two models use differently.
