Unions in the Global Markets
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.
Create a PowerPoint presentation aimed at informing managers
of the potential for unions (such as the UAW) to organize manufacturing workers
in foreign countries.
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 ensure 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.
Provide specific examples to illustrate 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.

graphics as well as “speaker notes” for each slide. The speaker notes
may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists.
Support your presentation with at least 3 scholarly
resources.
