    Labour Relation

    Phil Stone has been a union organizer for 15 years. He recently targeted a firm in the garment industry. Up to this point he has had informal discussions with a few of the company’s four hundred employees so that he can get a better feel for the chances of succeeding in the organizing drive. Phil is aware that he does not face a ‘slam dunk’ in this situation and his prediction is that the certification vote could be very close. He is aware that launching a full organizing campaign is an expensive proposition for the union, in time as well as resources, and his personal reputation as a successful organizer is at stake.…

    Industrial Relations and Its Relevance

    Zenith Medical Systems Incorporated is a relatively new firm that specializes in manufacturing and distributing information management systems for health care institutions. Zenith is a joint organization comprised of a major computer firm and a supplier of hospital products. Since the health care sector is continually growing and becoming more complex, the need for computer systems to accommodate for these changes increases. Zenith’s objective is to “develop an integrated system for patient records, staff and facilities scheduling, materials management, medication tracking, and financial management, in place of the separate systems that now exist in most cases” (p. 25). With that said, there are six departments in place: Marketing, Finance/Accounting, Human Resources, Systems Development, Systems Installations, and Systems Maintenance. In the beginning stages of operations, Zenith became the number one supplier of three firms that specialized in very different software systems.…

    Labor Relations and Collective Bargaining Agreements

    Unionization of the American system, as it exists today, originated in the 1880s, but its legal framework was not shaped until the 1930s. However; the labor movement went back to the slave-labor system of which was a major obstacle to the formation of a labor movement in the South and in the nation as a whole. The populations that were not free but represented a large portion of the country’s workers stopped taking part in the emergence of a labor movement initiated by free labor in the North. It was impossible for slaves, who did not have any rights of any kind to share in the equal rights artisanal traditions of white northern workers, their main focus was freedom (Beik, 2005).…

    Employment Law and Labor Relations Issues in your Workplace

    Equal opportunity is a descriptive term for an approach intended to give equal access to an environment or benefits, such as education, employment, health care, or social welfare to all, often with emphasis on members of various social groups which might have at some time suffered from discrimination. This can involve the hiring of workers and other such practices. Social groupings generally emphasized in such a way are those delineated by aspects of gender, race, or religion. In my workplace the Equal Employment Opportunity Policy is posted on almost every wall in the building. There are several issues that need to be addressed in my workplace. I work for a not-for-profit agency contracted with the Florida Department of Children and Families. We are an agency that tries to help families reunite once they have entered into the Family Law system. My job as a social worker is to promote social justice and social change with and on behalf of clients. "Clients" is used inclusively to refer to individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Social workers are sensitive to cultural and ethnic diversity and strive to end discrimination, oppression, poverty, and other forms of social injustice. These activities may be in the form of direct practice, community organizing, supervision, consultation, administration, advocacy, social and political action, policy development and implementation, education, and research and evaluation. Social workers seek to enhance the capacity of people to address their own needs. Social workers also seek to promote the responsiveness of organizations, communities, and other social institutions to individuals' needs and social problems. The main issue that needs to be addressed within my company is some issues pertaining to the Fair Labor Standards Act, holiday pay, and having an Human Resources Representative at our local site.…
