Assignment

Discussion #1

Explain why unions often place a priority on seniority in personnel decisions, whereas employers tend to emphasize ability to perform the job. 

Based on your own experience with work-performance appraisals conducted by managers, how confident are you that managers can effectively judge legitimate differences in performance between two or more employees?

Please use a minimum of at least one source to support your post.

Discussion #2

Using an organization where you work or have worked in the past, assume the role of a union negotiator or a management negotiator.  What work schedule(s) would you propose in the new contract that would best serve the needs of the company or your union members, as appropriate?

This is a discussion.  Do not need in report format.
