Term Paper

Term papers will be at least 8 pages, double-spaced. Footnotes and bibliography do not count toward the 8 pages.

TOPIC: Your term paper will examine a significant job action, strike, or sickout. You are to discuss the issues in dispute, the employer’s position and the union’s position, and the resolution of the matter. Be sure to explain the public policy implications, including whether parties other than the union and the employer had an effect on the resolution. In addition to the above, be sure to discuss:

1. Whether the union enjoyed public sympathy, public scorn, or apathy, and why. Did the salary or the jobs of the union members have an effect on the public reaction?

2. Is the issue over, or will/did it resurface in future contract negotiations?

3. In hindsight, what could the employer have done, if anything, to avert the job action?

4. In hindsight, should the union have employed other tactics? Which ones?
