Impact of Trade Union on the Performance of Organization

The role of unions and their importance has changed over the years. A mixture of poor wages, high unemployment, non-existent benefits and insignificant professional stability amongst the more youthful era makes a ready demographic for restoration. The younger era is the slightest unionized section of our general public today by a long shot. Unions are important in today’s society because checks and balances are necessary entities in business and government, so if CEOs are just focusing on themselves and profits, unions are a necessary check to all that corporate power. Today and in the future, labor unions will continue to play an important role in our country 's work force and the quality of life for working families.

Esquel, one of the leading cotton-shirt-manufacturers in the world came from China and it supplies lots of clothing brand such as Banana Republic, Tommy Hilfiger, Hugo Boss, Brooks Brothers, Abercrombie and Fitch, Nike, Nordstrom and Lands’ End, in addition to private companies (Plunkett Research, Ltd.). However, due to the high demand of the US apparel stores for Chinese products, the low cost, which was the main reason why raw materials are being purchased from China, have increased. China’s competition is huge, with Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Sri Lanka also producing material at cheap prices (Plunkett Research, Ltd.). The US apparel stores can instead purchase from these other Asian countries. It is hard to determine the exact number of suppliers in this industry; but, in general, majority of them are in Asian countries that can provide low-cost raw materials to US-based apparel stores. Therefore, the US apparel stores may acquire higher net profi

Origins of employment law date back to the 14th century, with the first labour legislation, the Ordinance of Labourers, being passed in 1349. It maintained wages at rates to be fixed from time to time by justice of the peace. However, it is not really until the early 19th century that we see a significant increase in change in employment law, and an ever-increasing speed of change and innovation, giving more and more legal protection to workers.

Although the Chinese apparel manufacturers would lose profitability due to rising cotton prices and competition from emerging countries, they stand to gain the most from the removal of U.S. quotas and tariffs. According to the author, in 2007, 95% of the 20 billion garments Americans made were purchased overseas. Due to U.S. trade barriers, China’s share of the U.S. apparel import was only 30%. Once these barriers were removed, Chinese apparel would flood the American market due to their low cost and dominance in garment manufacturing. Experts predict that China could eventually supply 85% of U.S. apparel. As they increase their market share in the

In today's society, we often overlook the needs of the working class.

Jon Nelson’s goals were to instill a sense of ownership in department managers of Corvallis, Oregon and hold them accountable for delivering high quality, cost-effective services (Brock & Campbell, 2000). However, the relationship between labor and management was very confrontational when he assumed the role of city manager. His experiences with collective bargaining were in very traditional bargaining environments and he had very little experience with interest-based bargaining. This case traces the impact on service, costs, and capacity for problem solving, by demonstrating the conduct of collective bargaining, non-bargaining interactions, and contract administration with the city 's three bargaining units.

There is also a change in the attitudes of people within America about unions, where workers are politically independent and strive to fight for better working conditions for themselves, using their own rights given by the law, rather than relying on union leaders to fight for them (Brazile, 2012). This makes it harder for U.S. unions to exert the same level of power as they lack support within the society. Thus, for unions to stand strong and regain the power they once had, it is necessary for there to be a level of union revitalisation for them to adapt to the rapidly changing needs of the environment around them. There is evidence between both in the U.S. and in Germany that unions have recognised the need to adapt to the changing environment around them and have implemented certain strategies to help them regain their footing in society (Rehder, 2008). However, while union revitalisation has started to occur within the U.S., in Germany it has not been successful.

The relationship between unions and organization is a touchy one. Dating back to the start of unionization in the 19th century, the two bodies have held opposing viewpoints. Unionization was formed from the opinion that organizations took advantage of workers and some form of a negotiating agreement was needed. There were documented events of workers working long taxing hours for insignificant pay; no healthcare coverage; dangerous working conditions; and gender and or racial discrimination. Companies believed that unionization caused less productivity which endangered profits. Companies also believed that unions interfere in daily processes, and limits the employer’s say over compensation and benefits. The
