Castle’s Family Restaurant is a local, small family owned business. Business is booming due to the location of the restaurants. The family-owned business is usually a case of a dream vs. reality. With crazy hours, small profits and no relief, a small business is tough to handle. Finding employees who are the right “fit” is especially difficult for smaller, family owned businesses, which often do not have the luxury of a human resources department. Jay Morgan is the operations manager but playing two roles in this company by also acting as the HR manager, which is not good for him or for the company. As a Human Resource consultant for a small franchise like Castle’s, I would want to ensure that the restaurant is operating well because I know the success of the restaurant is heavily built around the flow in which it functions. The work environment of a restaurant is usually fast paced, and requires the maximum efficiency. Employees are almost always part-time workers, except for managers and other supervisors. Mr. Morgan is traveling too much during the week to each location to handle several to almost all of the HR functions.…

The specific nonunion business situation that is to be considered in the case study, pertains to hotel business’s that are mainly equipped with a diverse group of individuals that hold different beliefs, morals, and mannerisms. Human resource managers have a role in developing effective practices such as customer-contact employees which entails selection, training, and providing efficient framework skills to help better the support system for employees’ comprehension of tasks (Osoian & Petre, 2013). Human Resource Managers can only accomplish their goal of providing successful systems and methods if they become innovated in which Osoian & Petre (2013) state that, innovation is a key characteristic that influences hotels success (p.80).…
You fuckin' whining pussy. The sooner you realize your duties are over June 30th the better. Get used to it, your time is over thankfully, for at least the next two years. You will not be the president and dictator, you will not be on the executive board, you will not be lead negotiator or even on the negotiating team. You are a fuckin' wanna be union guy who has no idea about union history or what unions stand for of their place in the workforce (unless of course you ask someone). You do not have an original thought in that little elementary pea brain of yours. You are a shitty person to go along with being a shitty teacher. You are someone who thinks you have something to say except you have to be fed your information from others because you are not intelligent enough to come up with your own thoughts and have nothing of your own…

Yes they do. And the following is in support of that claim: “Often described as the ‘heart’ of the act, section 7 of the statute reflects the law's basic purposes. It provides that ‘employees shall have the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid and protection’ “ (Kohler, 2004). In addition, the labor laws tend to favor employee and union relationships.…
As of 2017, 14.8 million wage and salary workers have belonged to a labor union ("Union Members"). Labor unions fight for higher wages, raising standards of living, safe working conditions, and increasing workers benefits. They have been protesting for centuries to constantly better lives for workers. Labor unions were formed to prevent these problems from resurfacing. Unions often work like a democracy by holding elections for officers.…

In the current era, employers are increasing their opposition to unions and there are several reasons as to why. One of the main reasons that employers oppose unions, would be the control of power. Employers are less likely to have control and power, when a union is present. With unions involved, workers have the right to gain power, organize, change the policies of employers and limit the authority of the employer and their rules. Because of such actions, majority of employers find ways to drive unions out or avoid them completely.…
Workers formed unions so that they could have some say over wages, hours, working conditions, and the many other problems that arise in the relationship between a worker and employer. Unions are important because they help set the standards for education, skill levels, wages, working conditions, and quality of life for workers. Union-negotiated wages and benefits are generally superior to what non-union workers receive (http://www.iuoe.org).…
To begin, labor unions can be beneficial to different labor groups for different reasons. Labor unions can provide employees of companies and businesses with a platform to voice their opinions on personal work experiences. Normally, strikes are carried out by labor union members which can result in positive changes in their work environment. In The Jungle, Jurgis decides to join the union in chapter 8 to hopefully change the way the meatpacking business treats him. Jurgis continued to work long, hard hours and not get the pay that he rightfully deserved. People who are involved in labor unions are provided with the opportunity to fight for what is thought to be right. In Jurgis’s case, some would fight for a higher salary since it was worked…
“Historically, trade unions were a vital concomitant of the process of industrialization and political liberalization in most countries. As their influence grew to unprecedented heights after the Second World War, social theorists saw them as a key ingredient of the capitalist economy and social democracy” (Gospel and Wood 2003, p.2). Throughout the years, trade union density and membership in Britain, as well as the proportion of the workforce covered by collective bargaining, have declined significantly. Nevertheless, trade unions have strongly influenced developments at the national level, including minimum wage campaigns and union recognition procedures (Gospel and Wood 2003, p.1). However, can unions still be “perceived as critical intermediaries in the model of the pluralist society, that was the base of liberal democracy?” (Gospel and Wood 2003, p.2). This essay will analyse the development trade unions, and general trends in membership and their status in today’s society. It will continue to discuss the drawbacks and benefits of being a member, while assessing trade unions’ effectiveness in fighting for employee rights, with an emphasis on female workers and equality rights. Moreover, alternatives for employees, like employment tribunals, will be explored.…
