HRMN: Issues and Problems Week 7 Discussion

Discussion One:

Describe one element of the status of unions from the readings such as the diversity of union members, targets for new members, whether unions are gaining or declining in membership or geographic concentrations of unions. Explain If the element you selected has changed over the recent past and if so, share your thoughts on what you feel has fueled the change.

Discussion Two:  Application

The CEO of HHS asks you, the Chief of Human Resources, to assess the vulnerability of the organization for unionization of its employees. Think about the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats for unionization and include in your report, what you see as some of the categories you would be sure include. Consider why employees join unions for guidance as you assess the situation.
