Case study
The employees at your organization have formed a union, and the bargaining process now begins. Write a case study in which you analyze the situation. First, begin with background information about the negotiation, and make certain to address the areas below.
Identify the state where the organization is located. Is the state a right-to-work state? If yes, explain what this means (cited discussion). If no, explain what this means. Why are the employees deciding to unionize (cited discussion)? What are the mandatory bargaining subjects (cited discussion)? Other than wages and hours, what are five other terms and conditions of employment (cited discussion)? What are permissive bargaining subjects that will be negotiated (cited discussion)? List at least five.
Second, you need to select members of your bargaining team. You will select four supervisors who were identified in the Unit VI Lesson. Discuss why you selected each supervisor, and compare/contrast their conflict management styles (cited discussion). Each supervisor must have a different conflict style. Explain how each supervisor can contribute to conflict resolution strategies used during negotiation.
Third, explain the two collective bargaining strategies, and identify which one you will recommend your team use (cited discussion). Explain and support your rationale.
Finally, propose what might happen if a labor-management agreement is not reached by your team and the employee representatives.
Your case study must be a minimum of three pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages. Headings are required. Your case study should present an insightful and thorough analysis with strong arguments and evidence. You must use three academically reliable sources to support your analysis.
