Tammy isn’t sure how she feels about striking over pay and conditions. Collective bargaining, as Carol points out, is when employers and employees meet to discuss the terms of their collective agreement. Marcus tries to persuade Serena that the collective agreement for Cutting Edge staff is fair; however, Serena is unconvinced – noting that there is a strike going on. Marcus and Serena call staff together to discuss the problem, with the aim being “communicate, not escalate”. Meanwhile Carlos practices bargaining for better work conditions with Dion. Marcus placates Casey who led the strike because everyone ignored her pet’s death anniversary.
