Every employee want be in the shifts that had maximum sales to increase their sales-per-hour, so there was a lot of competition. Also, when the sellers did not meet their goals, they are punished with going to work on their days off without any extra compensation or salary for that day. The firm also has a lawsuit from 3 individual shareholders who said that they had suffered financial losses because the company had failed to report their labor problems and early claims for unpaid work. We think that the kind of incentives that the company applies force sales workers to work more time that they could and this could affect the quality of the sales.

Working conditions and treatment in the work place at this time were harsh, poor and inadequate. Reforms that had been introduced were frequently ignored by employers. The hours were extensive and they worked for little pay. Yet the workers did not complain in fear of being sacked.

1.1 Identify causes of conflict at work (12) According to a study by Bell and Hart in 2000 and 2002, there are 8 causes of conflict. Conflicting resources, conflicting styles, expectations, goals, pressures and roles, different personal values, and unpredictable policies. Poor management can cause conflict in the workplace.

The Homestead Strike The Homestead Strike was held at Carnegie Steel Mill, and was famous for the struggles between the Labor Unions, and the Business owners around the late 1800s. Many of these struggles turned very violent, which caused many to get hurt. The Labor Unions (Organization of workers) were wanting higher pay, shorter work hours, and upgrade safety conditions for the members. Many Business owners think that Union is an act of trying to take charge of the business owners right to run their company as they please. The owners also don't like the fact that the Union Leaders can call a 'Strike' when the workers feel threatened with their job.
While workers fought for fair treatment and job security, the employers wanted the freedom to become more efficient and profitable. But when one threatens they others goal naturally the other will resist. In a dictatorship this would be handled favoring one party or the other (normally the employers) every time, but in a democracy there was a need for unions to do collective bargaining and at times when demands are not met , strike. <br>
MINIMUN WAGE AND OVERTIME ON THE JOBS INTRODUCTION One of the most common problems that we have in this city is that some employers doesn't pay the minimum wage, and sometimes doesn't pay nothing at all.

Contrary to popular belief, conflict is something that can be quite beneficial if handled in the right way. Conflict is a natural part in any society in which people deal with each other on a regular basis.
The loss of production and or customers due to failure to deliver the employees or products you sell is also an indirect cost that affects the business in a negative way. One indirect cost many of us do not think of is the effect on the companies morale and that can take a toll on others employees especially the ones who are taking the brunt of the work that the separated employee was performing. Turnover and the indirect cost can even include more frequent accidents and higher injuries due to the inexperience of newcomers.
