Do you think there is an alternative to public employees striking? Why or why not?

/in /by

Strikes may be rare, but it is noteworthy that they have been occurring more frequently in recent years.

It is prudent for HR professionals to consider including a strategy for responding to picket lines and protests in their company’s operational plan, especially given the compliance risk and remedies for situations that are not handled properly. In your initial post, analyze whether public employees should have the right to organize and have the right to strike.

If yes, what groups should be permitted to have the right to strike and which should not have the same right and why?

Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts and respond to at least two of your peers by 11:59 p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies early during the week to promote more meaningful interactive discourse in the discussion.

Provide additional or different opinions as to whether public employees should have the right to organize and strike. Why or why not? Do you think there is an alternative to public employees striking? Why or why not? Support your statements with scholarly and/or credible sources.

Collective Bargaining Agreement

Collective bargaining is a process in which negotiations between employers and a group of employees occur and are aimed at reaching agreements to regulate employment/working conditions.

Typically, the interests of the employees are representatives of a trade union to which the employees belong.

Evaluate what (if any) issues should be permissive versus mandatory within a CBA.

Compare and contrast why the said issues should be permissive versus mandatory.

Explain whether public employees should have a right to organize and strike. Provide a rationale for your statements.

Assume that the current CBA is set to expire in six months. Based on your research,

Analyze key issues that should be included in the new CBA.

Construct terms for each mandatory subject of bargaining (i.e., hours, wages, terms, and conditions of employment).

Design a grievance procedure and policy within the CBA for each party to follow if disputes arise under the CBA.

Explain whether the NLRA should be modified to include ADR to prohibit lockouts and strikes, or whether the NLRA should modify the bargaining agreement to require interest-based bargaining.

National Labor Relations Board and Act
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) extends rights to many private-sector employees, including the right to organize and bargain with their employer collectively.

Employees covered by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) are protected from certain types of employer and union misconduct and have the right to attempt to form a union where none currently exists.

Prior to beginning this discussion, review the Taft-Hartley Act and NLRB Announces New Pilot ADR Program articles.

For your initial post, analyze what impact the NLRB and courts had in their attempt to generate equality of bargaining power between union and employers (if any). Analyze the pros and cons of including “alternative dispute resolution (ADR)” in the NLRA.

Explain whether the NLRA should be modified to include ADR to prohibit lockouts and strikes, or whether the NLRA should modify the bargaining agreement to require interest-based bargaining. Support your statements with at least three (3) scholarly and/or credible sources. Your initial post must be three paragraphs in length.

Critical Review of Published Article for Statistics

1 Scope of the study – Is it a case study or an inferential study linking sample results to the population?

2 Sample   — How well is this discussed and is it clear what the population is.  Was the sample size justified?  Is it clear the sample is a random sample?

3 Questionnaire/Survey — Should be discussed so that one can determine sufficiency, possible sources of error, steps taken to avoid errors, and pre-testing.  Is it clear what critical variables are collected from the instrument?

4 Data – If data are used other than survey data, is the discussion adequate to understand possible limitations of the data.  Are sources identified?

5 Statistical Tests – If specific tests are mentioned, are they discussed sufficiently and are they appropriate?  Is sufficient background included (p values, type I errors, t- statistics, regression statistics, results, tables, etc.)

6 Results — Are the results logical and follow from the descriptive or analytical statistical methods utilized.  Or, are they based on intuition and assumptions and not on quantitative results?   Is there an attempt to rationalize the results, helping to explain why the quantitative results yield what they did?

7 Limitations – No study is ever perfect and often problems should be noted.  Are these discussed and suggestions made to improve next time?
