Unions & Modern Workplace

  Research general labor unions and think about how they affected laws, politics, and helped bring about change. Then research unions in your own career field. Imagine you are the supervisor in a workplace, and write a 600+ word memo to your employees designed to improve cooperation, team spirit, and morale among your staff: Directly address your employees. Discuss three ways that 18th-century class/societal stereotypes still affect relationships and management in American workplaces today. Explain what your state regulations are regarding the formation/operation of labor unions and worker disputes or conflicts. Name and discuss at least three new policies you intend to implement now that would reduce stereotypes and conflicts as well as increase teamwork and a positive working environment. Make sure you cite at least two sources in your memo.
