Chapter 14...

- -Concept and Brief Description: Collective Bargaining and Labor Relations
This chapter is all about unions. What they are, how they work, laws, definitions, and the impact they have on society. It was interesting to read about, we've all heard of unions but I don't think many people actually know much about them. I know I certainly did not know all the laws and things associated with them. This chapter also discussed strikes and the effect they have on companies.
- -Emotional Hook:
I know my emotional hook often times has to deal with women in the work place. This is something that really interests me though because someday that will be me and I will be facing these situations. Today's hook was the fact that more men are in unions than women. I found that interesting and would like to know why that is.
- -Key Points:
1. Impact of unions on Company performance. Do company's perform better with or without unions. 2. National Labor Relations Act. Laws that support collective bargaining and sets out the rights of employees to form unions.
- -Facilitative Questions:
Why do more men than women join unions? Is it better to join a union? Which industries benefit from unions?
