resentful about being passed over.

TRANSFER: MOVING SIDEWAYS
Employees might be transferred for four principal
reasons:
1. To solve organizational problems by using their skills at another
location.
2. To broaden their experience in being assigned to a different
position.
3. To retain their interest and motivation by being presented with a
new challenge.
4. To solve some employee problems, such as personal
differences with their bosses.

DISCIPLINING AND DEMOTION: THE THREAT OF MOVING DOWNWARD
Poorly performing
employees may be
demoted—that is, have
their current
responsibilities, pay, and
perquisites taken away.
Tips to manage the demotion process:
• Base demotion decisions on unbiased, well-documented evidence.
• Communicate the organization’s desire to retain the employee.
• Be honest about performance-related issues that led to the demotion

LABOR–MANAGEMENT ISSUES
How Workers Organize
How Unions and Management Negotiate a Contract
The Issues Unions and Management Negotiate About
Settling Labor–Management Disputes
© McGraw Hill
HOW WORKERS ORGANIZE
• When workers decide to form a union, they first
must get other workers to sign an authorization
card, which designates a certain union as the
workers’ bargaining agent.
• Usually the employer refuses, at which point the
union can petition the National Labor Relations
Board (NLRB) to decide which union should
become the bargaining unit that represents the
workers.
© McGraw Hill
HOW UNIONS AND MANAGEMENT NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT
• Once a union is recognized as an official
bargaining unit, its representatives can then
meet with management’s representatives to do
collective bargaining—to negotiate pay and
benefits and other work terms.
• When agreement is reached with management,
the union representatives take the collective
bargaining results back to the members for
ratification.
© McGraw Hill
THE ISSUES UNIONS AND MANAGEMENT NEGOTIATE ABOUT
• Union Security and Types of Workplaces
• The union security clause
• Types of unionized and nonunionized workplaces
• Right-to-work laws
