Abstract Unions are legally recognized as representatives of workers in many industries in the United States. Today, the goal of unions centers on collective bargaining over wages, benefits, working conditions for their members, and representation of their members in disputes with management over violations of contract provisions. This paper will discuss the specific working conditions that have prompted the attention of L-3 Communication’s employees. It will assess the benefits of organizing a union, create a mission, purpose, and objective statement for a strategic plan to organize a union, outline the components needed to start a union and ideas for each step, determine a possible timeline for the execution of the union, and speculate

In their first example, Vallas, Finlay and Wharton illustrate the differences in how work is organized, assigned and perceived by employees in two exact same workplaces that are located in two different countries. They emphasize that regional cultural groups are rooted in deep traditional understandings of the customs they deem appropriate for the roles they perform in the workplace. Their 1978 Gallie study shows that people who worked in machinery operated mills in both France and Britain responded differently to (1) the workplace management system, (2) the attitude toward management authority and (3) the concepts about the role labor unions ought to play in the workforce. They responded differently to these factors as a result of French and British work customs despite having had the exact same technologies introduced to their workplaces (Vallas, Finlay and Wharton, p.11). Where managers in French mills assumed the decision-making process; workers challenged manager’s rights to control the production process; and labor unions mobilized workers to challenge authority figures, British mill managers worked by a system of checks and
Recommended approaches 7. Conclusion and reflection on learning 8. References 1. Identify a current or past situation in your career that has had a significant impact on your job satisfaction and that has involved a work stress challenge. Examples include a situation where there is a perceived or potentially unfair difference in pay, work schedule, assignments, permission to telework, access to training and development, opportunities for travel, opportunity for promotion, etc.
Stress in the workplace can be caused by numerous reasons and can have a major impact on work performance and job satisfaction. It is important that the organization is able to identify the stress related issues and the contributing factors that are causing stress. The stress reducing approaches; stress management training, reduction of stressors and alternate work schedules and telecommuting are essential for reducing stress within an organization as well as benefit the employees at Air Devils

With all of the different working conditions, wages, races, and experience that we saw is Hollitz chapter 2, we can make a generalization that the worker’s level of distress was high. There are three questions that come to mind. First, overall do the working conditions appear to be improving or getting worse? Second, What do workers think about their conditions? Third, would you agree to what William Sumner said that it was not the role of the government to improve the conditions of the working classes, the claim of some writers that employers treated workers as a mere commodity, Sumner also asserted, was “ludicrous” in the “cold light of reason?” After some reading all the sources I can say that conditions got worse then were fixed later, some workers did not like their jobs, and I do not agree with Sumner’s argument.
Again, maybe. In today’s workplace we have the emergence/convergence of several different generations: • Veterans/Silent Generation - born before 1945 • Baby Boomers - born between 1946 and 1964 • Generation X - born between 1965 and 1980 • Generation Y/Millennial’s - born between 1980 and 1994 Industry experts express and acknowledge that each generation has its own set of unique tendencies and characteristics that have an impact on the workplace in a variety of ways. According to Edward S. Lyba "Diversity in the workplace means creating an environment where people from dissimilar backgrounds can utilize their talents and work productively together,” (NEPA Diversity Guide, 2007).
