(TCO A) You are the new leader of the local union at your company. There are many
new employees who have joined the union in the past year, and they have questions
about the way union membership works. These new employees are not sure about how
to be in the union and still interact with the boss. It seems to some of them that in their
non-union jobs, they would just say and do what it took to get their questions answered,
and they did not see much difference between themselves and the boss. Others want to
run to the union steward every time the boss says something they don t like. The
questions involve management rights and employee rights. Your job is to develop a
summary sheet which lists the content for a union meeting. Your summary should
include the basics of how unions operate and specifics on management rights and
employee rights in the union environment. (Points : 34)

largely defined by a variety of federal and state laws. These laws can be
seen as helping, or they can be considered a hindrance to labor or
management as they try to reach their goals. Both sides have their point
of view. In the past, the laws were created to help the unions organize
and members to join a union. Later, the laws helped management deal
with the union. The labor laws of this country have helped to bring some
balance to the labor and management relationship. Consider the major
labor legislation passed over the years. (a) Explain how key components
of the labor laws impact the union/management relationship today. (b) In
your explanation, describe how both management and labor benefit from
these key provisions. (Points : 34)
