Safeville City is about to renegotiate its contract with the collective bargaining unit representing its local police force. The major issue up for renegotiation is salary levels. The union is using a survey of cities of comparable size in Safeville's three-state region. The city council has decided to use comparison salaries only from organizations and corporations within a 100-mile radius as nearly 100 percent of Safeville's existing police force resides within the area.
What are the pros and cons of the approaches taken by the city council and police union?
