Assignment
2: Unions
Scenario
You are a consultant tasked with reviewing the
collective bargaining policies for a large global retailer. This company has
been operating since inception without unions and senior management is
staunchly against allowing any of its workers to organize. Due to mounting
pressure from both workers and the media, they are again reviewing the
consequences of allowing unions to form within their stores.
Instructions
Using the Argosy University
online library resources and the Internet, research the pros and cons of retail
stores establishing unions.
Write a report in which you
cover the following:
·
Identify 4–5 major benefits to
starting a retail company with and without using organized labor.
·
Compare and contrast the
differences in benefits for a retail company started without unions and later
after unions were introduced.
·
Analyze the laws that are
available to separately protect both the workers and management. Can the
workers organize at a site without management consent? Can management fire
workers for trying to organize?
·
Examine two new union issues
(per country) that would be introduced if the company opens stores in India,
China, and Mexico. Cover both the benefits and drawbacks to both union and
management for each issue.
