Proj 430 Week 1 Case 1 1. J & D accounting created an Information Services Division for studies and analysis to be able to compete against larger firms. With its increased employees and customers there is no structure keeping them in order. Projects are incomplete, customers do not know where to get answers from, and the director of ISD is forced to handle daily activities instead of strategic planning and policy formulation. The director will be reassigned and the systems manager will be taking her spot.
The Inspector believes that “we are members of one body” and that “we are responsible for each other.” This contradicts what Birling was saying at the beginning of the play. Also the Inspector repeats the word “we.” This shows that everyone needs to help one another because we cannot get by on our own. Priestley suggests that needs to be a change in upper class because “there are millions and millions and millions of Eva Smith and John Smith…with their lives, their hopes and fears, their suffering and chance of happiness.” This presents that the people who can help these “John Smiths” (are the upper class) need to offer their support and comfort to them so that they can be happy, however Mr Birling does not have these emotions as we have see through out the play. The Inspector arrives at very good moments in time in the play. He arrives just as Mr Birling is saying “community and all that nonsense”, this implies that the Inspector is going to challenge Mr Birling on everything he just said, to see if he is correct.
Employers had no compassion or empathy for their workers who slaved away in their factories. Because immigrant labor was cheap, it was often exploited by the employer. Workers tried to better the situation by unionizing and have a show of strength with the numbers of workers. The big businesses, used government support to suppress the organization of strikes or work revolts. However, when unions rised up and demanded fair wages, employers would have to consider these demands and negotiations would have to take place.
I completely agree with Morrison and the remarks he made to the senate with the discontent of the workers and himself. It is not fair how the machinists are losing jobs and getting wage cuts because the machines are getting so advanced being that there one day will be no work at all for the average working man. The working man just wants to be assured that they will no matter what always have their jobs and that is why they have set up labor unions to protect the workers. Some might disagree with me and say it is more logical and better for there to be machines rather then workers, but I would tell them what they would think if all the average working men and women are to be laid off because computers and machines have completely taken over. How would they support their families, how would they put food on the table, how would they pay for houses for their familes to live in.
Generally, the authoritarian leadership style is considered to be the more traditional type. In the past most businesses operated under the assumption that there were not effective reasons to discuss decisions with staff before making significant changes. This rather militant style of operating businesses can be visualized as a top-down approach; decisions come from above and trickle to those below. This is mostly effective, but leaves the people on the bottom, oftentimes the ones actually doing the labor, with no voice about how to perform their daily work activities. Over time management concepts have evolved into modern techniques that rely more on listening to and understanding the needs of employees as more businesses realize how much more productive employees can be when they have some control in their team or work environment.

Contingency Theory has various styles of leadership and no two workers are motivated the same way (Lewis, Packard, & Lewis, 2007, p. 278). Based on the interaction on how the supervisor and the employee’s role intertwined with each other it was clear to see that the supervisor assumed and expected certain expectations in the workplace and assumed that along with that the client’s needs would also be met. As we seen the situation play out we also noticed the lack of motivation to practice the token system with the clients coming from the employees’ point of view. The challenge there was that competency and practice of the method were not being held to the same standard as the supervisors’ vision. If the supervisor has a strong sense of that method and knowledge of it, the employees were not reflexing the same in this example.
Many union leaders and members even lost their lives for things we take for granted today. The right-wing attack on unions is nothing more than ignorance, lack of education, and program and a. If republicans would rather support corporations instead of organized groups of workers working to secure a fair work environment A.K.A a union, I ask them to walk the walk as well. Give up every benefit and right that you use that unions are responsible for. Complete trust and submit yourself to the corporate agenda you fight for.
Standard employment relationships were considered "full-time continuous employment relationships where the worker has one employer, works on the employer's premises' under his or her direct supervision, normally in a unionized environment , and has access to social benefits and entitlements that complete the social wage" (Butchtemann and Quack, 1990: 315 cited in Vosko, 2006). However, the shift to non standard employment relationships are characterized by limited social and statutory benefits, as in not enough legal protection and limited access to welfare programs. Job insecurity, due to the constant need for capitalists to cut back on labour due to the burden of competition. Low wages also come into play, as the competition between workers may bring prices down, as well as the pressure put on capitalist to cut additional costs. Temporary and part-time work is also a big trend in post- Probably one highly exploitive factor is the high risk of health that these precarious jobs bring to workers.
