The contextual factors which impact the union environment include effective communication between the organization and the union. With effective communication, then it will be easy for the union to understand how the operations within the organization are being operated and hence it will help the organization to stay free from the union. Staying free from the union entails having to communicate all what the organization is doing and how it will execute the plans (MBA, 2015).

The strategy which will be used in the organization to discourage employees from joining the unions is by motivating them at the workplace. This will be achieved by increasing their wages and also by having other incentives which will make them feel comfortable at the workplace. This will make the employees feel that joining the union is not important and thus will not join them. Also, the employees are assisted when handling the tasks assigned to them and they are facing difficulties in handling them. This will make them feel that the management of the organization cares about them.

To lessen the number of grievances in the organization, then the management should have an open communication system with the employees hence getting to know the problem which the employees are facing in the organization. These problems therefore will be solved on me thus preventing grievances within the organization (Elgoibar, Euwema, & Munduate, 2016).

Regarding the changing labor force, the organization will be taking the employees to attend training regularly so that they can update their skills hence ensuring that the changes in the labor force and the skills needed in the organization will be available. This move will ensure that the organization is in a position to retain the employees who understand the organization and thus performing excellently to ensure that the objectives are achieved will be easy.
