The union negotiated higher wages after months of difficult talks.

Note
One spelling serves as both simple past and participle. After have it builds the perfect (they have negotiated). After be it builds the passive, which only the transitive uses allow: a treaty was negotiated, a tricky bend was negotiated, a bill was negotiated to a new holder. The intransitive sense of conferring toward terms has no passive, so they negotiated for weeks stays active.
