Discussion 4 and 5

Lesson 04 - Discussion

Employees might respond to workplace injustice in one of five ways: quitting, individual voice (such as complaining), collective voice (including forming a union), resistance (including work withdrawal such as absenteeism, reduced work effort, and work avoidance, or perhaps even sabotage), and silence. How might union strategies, managerial strategies, and the external environment shape which response an individual worker chooses? What else might affect whether workplace injustice causes an individual to support a labor union over the other options for dealing with injustice? How are unions and management key participants in the labor relations process? Give an example and cite your sources.

Lesson 05 - Discussion

Organizing a Union is a complicated procedure involving several players. The initial step in this process is the Authorization Card Campaign. It is during this time that the Union attempts to show enough interest in the Union to force a certification election. Please explain why and how unions are organized? Then pick a union through an internet search that is still in place and active today and discuss the Union and why it is good to still have this union in place today. Cite your findings.
