Accurate labor cost modeling is essential to successful union negotiations. Understanding how proposed contract terms will impact your organization's bottom line allows you to negotiate with clarity, control, and confidence.
At FH Solutions Group, we specialize in building custom labor cost models that evaluate the full financial impact of bargaining proposals before you commit to them at the table.
During labor negotiations, even small changes to wages, benefits, or work rules can lead to significant cost increases or savings.
Our experienced labor consultants help employers:
- Estimate the economic impact of union and management proposals
- Model scenarios for wages, health care, scheduling, premiums, and more
- Quantify trade-offs between competing proposals to support informed decisions
Whether you're preparing for negotiations or responding to counterproposals, our labor cost modeling ensures you understand the financial implications of every term.
Our labor cost models may include:
- Projected costs of wage increases, retroactive pay, and lump sums
- Benefit cost projections (e.g., health insurance, retirement contributions)
- Economic impact of scheduling, overtime, and leave policy changes
- Multi-year cost summaries with detailed breakdowns
