As the Director of Labor Relations at the 400-bed hospital.
You are tasked with describe the salient extrinsic and intrinsic issues for
employees. Monitor the organizing attempt at the not-for-profit facility across
town.
Develop a process to assess the attitudes of employees
regarding unionization. Include important factors such as management
involvement, using management-oriented consultants, and communication
strategies that would influence workers to avoid unionization. Evaluate whether
wages, benefits or working conditions are not the only issues that need to be
addressed.
Also include:
1. Why are
unions successful in appealing to the fears of workers?
2. There are
various conditions where employees feel insecure along with facing economic
problems based on falling wages and employee benefits.
3. Will
employee motivation increase or decrease as a result of unionization?
Prepare a handout appropriate for giving out to the
employees of the organization. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of
establishing a treaty with a union and how the company plans to improve
employee morale. Provide specific examples where appropriate.
