Consider a firm and a union bargaining over how to split the firm’s revenue (which we assume is $100). The firm first makes an offer of an amount it will give the union (which goes to the workers as wages). Assume the firm has to choose the amount in multiples of 50. After the firm has made its offer, the union chooses whether to accept or reject. If it accepts, the revenue is divided accordingly; assume payoffs of each player...
