I (Pat) then called a meeting to announce that the plant you be moving to a 10 hour a day 4 day work week and that all overtime would now need to be preapproved by Paul. As a result the employees slow down work in order get opportunities for overtime. Paul, noticing this, stopped giving out overtime all together. This caused even more resentment toward management by employees. Paul then posted strict guidelines for what is expected from employees and what punishment they may receive for not adhering to his new rules.

Mantkelow (2014) explains lean manufacturing as based on "finding inefficiencies and removing wasteful steps that don't add value to the end product." Lean operations helps to reduce waste in production by using resources to only produce what the customer is demanding. A company that is using lean operations has measurable throughput. “Every minute that a product is not sold the cost accumulates and the competitive advantage is lost, this is the manufacturing cycle time” (Heizer and Render, 2010) this analysis could have been used to scale down production in the third and fourth quarter when it became obvious there was excess inventory. For starters, there is no value in holding 60 days' worth of inventory, to adopting lean principles would immediately help us to commit to inventory reduction and better alignment between production and demand.
The workforce was lead to believe that there were not any financial problems at Bradley Marquez. The workforce felt that with the closing of the Vail office that all the financial problems would disappear for Bradley Marquez. The reason the main problem occurred is the communication breakdown from upper management to the entire workforce. Upper management felt that the financial problems did not need to be communicated to all offices around the world. I think upper management felt the decision to close Vail would bring the company back to profitability.
The management team needs to understand that “change is an ongoing and never-ending process of organizational life” (Van de Ven & Sun, 2011, p. 58). After showing the team where they are the next step would be to show them where they can go if they make the necessary changes. During the future state presentation, an outline of how business would increase and improve statistically. Companies often require visual and the future state presentation would provide several visual chart reports showing the company how they will improve their marketability by implementing project management functionality. The increase to employee morale and production would be the closer to this presentation.
Legal Encounter One The biggest liability issue that NewCorp will face with Pat is over a claim of wrongful discharge. This will be based on NewCorp’s personnel manual that states that employees will be placed on a corrective action plan to improve performance before termination. No correction plan was given to Pat by his boss before being discharged. Pat will also be able to argue that in receiving the NewCorp personnel manual, an implied contract of employment was agreed upon based on the policies contained in the manual. The fact that he was discharged shortly after the school board meeting in which he shared views contrary to those held by some of our senior management should have no basis on any legal proceedings.
Expansion means career growth and other opportunities for the LPN’s If Happy Trails closes this facility, the organization will lose money and business opportunities. An alternative that Happy Trails can use is to explain to the LPNs that unions have made many American businesses less competitive so the employer has no option but to make budget cuts elsewhere. Those budget cuts could come from less recognition programs, pay raises less frequently and in an extreme circumstance the facility would be forced to close their doors. Many employees have come to the realization that unionization may in the long run put their jobs at risk by making their employers less competitive. The National Labor Relations Act forbids employers from interfering with, restraining, or

A strike is a concerted effort by a group of workers to withhold their labor from their employer for the purpose of effecting favorable changes in wages or working conditions, or both, or for winning employer recognition of labor union representation. Strikes can take different forms: a primary strike is a stoppage aimed at the direct employer; a sympathy strike occurs when employees refuse to work in "sympathy" with others directly involved in a dispute; and a sit-down strike happens when workers stop work and decline to leave the employer's premises in order to prevent the hiring of replacements. A wildcat strike is one that occurs without formal union authorization, and a general strike is an effort to stimulate a generalized work stoppage and has political overtones. All of the above have been common in the United States, with the exception of the politicized general strike, a technique that is
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.
