You have been tasked to develop a presentation for the
organization’s senior management on the future of unions and collective
bargaining in a global environment, as your company is considering overseas
expansion. Based on your readings and additional research, create a PowerPoint
presentation aimed at informing managers of the potential for unions (such as
the UAW) to organize manufacturing workers in foreign countries. Address the
following in your presentation:
Discuss the implications of the wide range of conditions
that may apply to an industry such as the auto industry, where workers with
similar skills experience disparate treatment in different countries.
Analyze the working conditions in foreign manufacturing
plants or other work environments which may open the door for union organizing.
Analyze the challenges for multi-national companies based in
the United States to ensure that the global workplace will provide fair wages
and a working environment that promotes employee health and safety.
Articulate how global events may influence more
opportunities for unions to organize these workers.
Throughout your presentation, provide specific examples to
illustrate your analysis. For instance, identify specific industries and
countries used to complete your presentation.
Conclude your presentation by recommending whether or not to
consider union representation in the foreign marketplace. You may discover that
in some countries, you would consider it and in others you would not.
Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and
graphics as well as “speaker notes” for each slide. The speaker notes may be
comprised of brief paragraphs presentation or bulleted lists.
Support your presentation with at least 3 scholarly
resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate
scholarly resources may be included.
Length: 12-15 slides (with a separate reference slide)
