Labor Unions

• 1. Go to the United States Department of Labor and read the section titled “Employment Rights: Who has Them and Who Enforces Them”.  Next, evaluate the intended effectiveness of The Americans with  Disabilities Act and The Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Determine how these  laws affect human resource (HR) management. Speculate what the impact  of the Act will be in 10 years. Support your position.
• Use the Internet to research the role of unions in the United States  compared to three other countries. Next, examine how the role of unions  in other countries differs from the role of unions in the United  States. Provide examples of three countries and how unions operate in  those countries in regard to HR management.

Please respond to the following post.

Employment  Rights: Who has Them and Who Enforces Them”.  Evaluate the intended  effectiveness of The Americans with Disabilities Act and The  Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Determine how these laws affect human  resource (HR) management. Speculate what the impact of the Act will be  in 10 years. 

The intended effectiveness of The Americans with Disabilities and Rehabilitation Acts of 1973 is that these laws deter employers from discriminating against employees with disabilities. The company must provide each employee with the same applications, the same testing, and ask the same  questions. In other words, with this Act companies are not allowed to  show any biases towards anyone and everyone must be given a fair  opportunity in applying for a job and qualifying for any position that  is opened within the organization. Therefore, in the next 10 years I  believe in case of any other issues that make arouse, develop or exist  overtime, the Act possibly would have to be updated to accommodate  everyone’s need and that each are treated equally.

2.   Provide an example of a company that has done a total “  turnaround”. Determine if the turnaround has been effective and improved  its profitability.

• Examine changes and developments that are  currently taking place in the field of HR management. Predict two  changes and developments that are likely to occur in this field in the  next 10 years.

Provide  an example of a company that has done a total “turnaround”. Determine  if the turnaround has been effective and improved its profitability.

As  a company Apple became an ethically and socially responsible once the  bad apples of the bunch were removed. For Instance, at first Apple  behavior was rocky because before Steve Jobs the other CEO didn’t value  their employees which cause delay in production due to non-motivation or  appreciation. However, but once they realized that power is not the key  and working as a team is what will make them prosper then they got rid  of the problem and retrieved who they knew would make this happen which  were Steve Jobs  because employees used felt  valued by the presents of  Steve Jobs,  he knew how to interact within the organization as well as  outside the organization, the Apple’s products and it’s employee’s  influenced many individuals and consumers, which was positive step  towards building the company,  Needless to say, at this present time at  Apple the CEO is totally different, the company is having more layers of  hierarchy and to meet with the CEO you must make an appointment. Apple  made a turnaround though the changes of creating a Mac Version at Steve  Jobs request and later he began revamping and branching out the computer  to introduce iBook (a personal laptop). He also started branching out  into mp3 players (iPod) and media player software (iTunes) which became  the most profitable. Even after his death on October 5, 2011, Apple  continue with his legacy with recently released of the iPhone, a  cellular phone, and the Apple TV.
