In most instances, an organization’s main objective is to generate revenue. Managers are hired and held accountable to ensure the organizations vision and goals are met. Managers are required to find ways in keeping expenses low and increasing revenue but when all of the focus is put into making money, employees may suffer due to poor treatment and little or no raise for increasing workloads, etc. Therefore we do agree with the statement, “ Unions do not happen, they are caused by management.” According to the textbook “Canadian Human Resource Management”, the definition of a union is, “an organization with the legal authority to represent workers, negotiate the terms and condition of employment with the employer, and administer the collective agreement.” (Schwind, Das, Wagar, 2010, p. 493) Therefore, the union acts as the employees bargaining agent. It listens and considers the needs, suggestions, and rights of employees that managers are so often, unequipped to do.

In order for things to run smoothly, the employees have to be able to deal with massive amounts of people on a regular basis. A company's labor costs affect its OMM operations by being the largest expense that it will have. A company must leverage its payroll expense by meetings the profit goals they set. A company's inventory is a vital part towards its success.
It is frustrating to see how much of a trade off the circle of life is having to sacrifice people’s income in order to get a greater result on a business. Finally, as a result of a so controversial topic I supported, support, and will support the minimum wage. The bad economy that we face today in the country is so depressing that it is not even guarantee if there will be more employment with or without minimum wage. Every day the unemployment increases, inflation increases, poverty increases, crime increases, etc. Moreover, with a minimum wage there is a big portion of the population of the country unemployed, now I think what it will be if there is not a set minimum wage.
While unions have been declining in the United States about 16% of U.S. workers are union members they remain strong in Canada, including about 37% of Canadian workers. More than 2 million Canadian workers are employed in government service industries(Climan). This just shows that Canada has better control on this situation than the United States

Be that as it may, implementing creative activities and providing trainings that focus on communication skills and active listening skills, as well as bringing awareness about different types of conflicts can create a better working environment, hence, ultimately decreasing or even ending workplace conflict.

However it is an inevitable process. The more a society progresses, the more there is a need for a modern industrial capitalism.
