Analysis Of The Hotel Rebuttal Of The Information

The company after realizing that there was union organization in progress increased employee workload while reducing the workweek (called a stretch out). This is an implied financial threat by management that they controlled the workers, their income and their ability to have a job and their time off from the job. As long as employees showed sympathy to the union that management would make it hard on them. This is another potential violation of the ULP

Labor unions represent workers interests and the collective bargaining process provides a way to manage the conflict (Noe, 2003). More than ever, union employees have come to see unionizing as a way to achieve an

If the subcontractor to whom a struck company has contracted work is unionized, its employees legally can refuse to perform the work. Such refusals are allowed under the

I believe the union did violate Title I, Section 101(a) of Landrum-Griffin Act since during the monthly meetings ”subjects such topics as union expenditures, salaries of officers, general complaints with particular employers, and various other operational matters” Under Title I, Section 101(a) “every member of a labor organization shall have equal rights and privileges within such organization” these meetings are hosted in English when nearly half of all union members do not understand English is unfair and not treating those who can not understand equally. Paul Sanchez has requested a translator that is not apart of the union so that the message is clear and with out opinions or objectiveness. He was denied the request by the union. A remedy to this would be to ensure all union members are able to participate and understand what is discussed during monthly

I feel the labor relations system as currently constituted is effective for resolving disputes as long as both parties are committed to negotiating in good faith. Although, I feel the current system is effective a further explanation of the systems strengths and weaknesses will better explain the effectiveness of resolving disputes. It is in both the companies and the labor interest to negotiate with as little third party interaction to come up with an agreement. In times when there are disputes their different course of action that start from a least costly without giving up power in the decision to the possibility of becoming more costly to either party and give up the power in the decision. As discussed in the text when an organization and labor cannot come up with an agreement a third party may be asked to come in to negotiations to resolve a dispute which includes mediation, fact-finding, and interest arbitration.

When speaking of unfair labor practices, it is imperative to note that, according to the provisions of the National Labor Relations Act, they include any attempts of an employer to prevent employees from organizing or creating their unions, restrain or interfere with their rights to support the existing union, affect their intentions and perceptions of union activities, threatening an employee with firing them or taking away their benefits predetermined by their competence if they choose to support the union (Legal Information Institute, n.d.; Noe et al.,

The law clearly states the Supreme Court has held that binding arbitration is equally applicable to both parties. The law also states that “An employee’s agreement to arbitrate is clear when the employee signs an application form or agreement requiring arbitration, receives something of value from the employer, and is given a copy of the relevant arbitration rules.” CITATION Bag10 \p 92 \l 1033 (Bagley & Savage, 2010, p. 92)There is of course the possibility of recourse for the terminated employee, Mr. Compton, in a lawsuit filed by the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission0. The law states that “The EEOC may file a claim in court on its own behalf against an employer, even if the employee involved had entered into an enforceable

Before business law class, I was not aware of how frequently arbitration is incorporated in contracts. Directly after watching Hot Coffee, I read through a recent internship offer. Almost hidden on the page, an arbitration clause was included. Before watching the film, I did not realize how much impact arbitration can have on a case, as depicted through Jamie Leigh Jones. As a result, I thought about the potential implications of my signature before moving forward. Jamie Leigh Jones’ case showed me that significant terms can be hidden in a contract, but be completely legal. This stresses the importance of reading documents before signing

Obviously, a complete refusal to meet and to bargain violates the act. Scheduling meetings infrequently or canceling scheduled meetings can also evidence bad faith. (Carrell, 2010) So selecting campaign tactics permitted under the national labor relations act is very important for employers, Needless to say, at this point the union is striving to persuade a majority of the employees to vote "Union," and management is attempting to persuade a majority to vote "No Union." A multitude of tactics' can be employed by both sides to obtain their objectives. (JOHN D. FRISBY,

Unfortunately, employers don’t always have to hire their workers back. For instance, if they believe the union did not act in good faith, they may have the right to fire their workers. Few private employers can afford simultaneous 100 percent turnover, even temporarily, so a strike threat encourages negotiations. Today, management holds more leverage knowing that many people cannot afford the risk of losing their jobs in such a competitive economy. So instead of negotiating labor issues, employees are satisfied with what is given to them. The rhetoric of solidarity has long obscured the reality of unionism: Unions drive up wages by pitting workers against workers, insiders against outsiders (Reason).

What remedies are available to an employer against workers striking in violation of a no-strike clause? Against a union striking in violation of a no-strike clause?

After research, the case I have chosen for my law review assignment is, Amanda Hawkins et.al v. Anheuser-Busch, Inc. This case peaks my interest because it occurs in a manufacturing environment with a union presence. This is where the majority of my work experience lies. The four defendants in this case propagate claims of sex-discrimination, retaliation, sexual harassment and a hostile work environment (Amanda Hawkins et.al v. Anheuser-Busch, Inc., 2007). The individual at the center of the allegations was terminated, only to be reinstated by the union after a six month suspension. I understand why unions were created and the need for them at the time. However, it has been my experience that when working in a union environment, an organization’s
