Intergovernmental Unions - Our Future?

Next, Lennon asked his audience to imagine a united world with no borders, or religions, thing that could avoid wars and conflicts and lead the humanity to live in peace, the last verse was about imagining what people would be if they share everything, if they share the world. He ended up by wishing that one day the world will know

The goal of business’s and labor unions is to make money for itself. But how can they do that and feel like both sides have the same advantage as the other? I propose that labor and business can best achieve their goals by making compromises with each other so that they can both reach an agreement they feel is fair. Those compromises could include cutting back on budgets and figuring out how business and labor could find a solution that could possibly benefit both, business and labor. Another compromise that business and labor could find a solution to is by not having their self-interest involved and making sure they don’t do anything that hurts the other. They do this by working together and following laws the government has for those types

Prior to the 1950s, American public sector workers could not join unions. Because of job security and reasonable benefits, it was considered unnecessary for public sector workers to unionize and collectively bargain with their government employers. However, in 1958, Robert F. Wagner, then mayor of New York City, signed an executive order granting city workers the right to unionize. Other local and state legislators followed suit, allowing public sector workers the right to join unions. In 1959, the state of Wisconsin passed the first state law granting the right to public sector collective bargaining after extensive campaigning in the state by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (Fraser & Freeman, 2011). And in 1962, President John F. Kennedy granted federal employees the right to unionize and collectively bargain. Since then, the expansion of union activity in American government has closely mirrored the decline of union influence and strength in the American private sector (Masters, Albright, & Gibney, 2010)

One time me and my brother were on our phones talking to our friends and our mother was calling us, needless to say we didn't hear her so she came upstairs and snatched the phones right out of our hands and said, "They live right down the street, just go to their house." Technology has advanced so far that we rarely need to step out of our own house to talk to people and as cool as that seem it has become a problem. Although, technology has made great things possible like communicating with your loved ones across the globe and it has even progressed human evolution. However, its has taken a fundamental aspect of humanity from us. We no longer feel the need to communicate human to human. This is lack in human contact is in fact a problem

Organized labor affects the lives of many citizens everyday, often in a roundabout way. Labor Unions affect many different people from blue-collar workers to white-collar workers, stay-at-home moms, students, and retirees. Fewer; however realize the legal role Labor Unions have played and continue to play in the financial system, political affairs, and society in general. In today's society, more of our skilled hourly and unskilled workers belong to some sort of Labor Union and that is a good sign that Unions will not face extinction. As long as there is a need for higher wages, there will be a need for Unions.

Title: Unions have played a significant role in workforce history, have they outlived their purpose.

I agree with William Deresiewicz, in the sense that we rely on technology and social media websites too much for our real social experience. Now days, it doesn’t take just a couple minutes to send out a mass social media post to let the world know what we have

Unions began forming in the mid of 19th century in response to the Industrial Revolution. The National Labor Union began to form in the post- Civil War Era. One of the major force emerged in the late of 1880’s was the Knights of Labor, which collapsed for the reason of weak organization.

Labor union is an organized association of workers, in a trade or profession, formed to protect and further their rights and interests. During the industrial revolution in Europe there was a rise in new workers without representation in the workplace.

In the song “Imagine”, Lennon envisions the world as an utopia, free of religion, borders, death and suffering, “Imagine” delves into two of the most divisive matters of humanity - possessiveness and religion; it urges the listener to consider the issues with a neutral outlook. Much like transcendentalism, the song stresses the inherent goodness of humankind - in which everyone can live harmoniously as one. Thoreau once says, “I would give all the wealth to the world, and all the deeds of all the heroes, for one true vision”. Comparable to Thoreau’s statement, “Imagine” relinquishes greed for a vision of abiding peace, which is evident in the line “Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can”. The lyrics persuades the audience to see the possibility

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
