Week 4 Discussion Labor relations

Please have complete and well thought out initial responses that are supported by the literature. I am looking for original input, so please share your own experiences and then add support from our book our outside resources. Your thoughts and experiences are important to our discussions, so we can all learn from them. Please make sure that you back up the posts with factual information from the book, work/life experiences, or elsewhere. A big part of management is convincing people about your point of view so this exercise should help. I am looking forward to some great discussions!
