Nordstrom has famously been known for its lean retail prices and its tight inventory. Nordstrom uses demand forecasting to minimize leftover inventory. Nordstrom’s total corporate management is based on two main goals. One is to associate purchasing with demand to keep inventory as lean as possible. Second is to present customers and sales associates with a wide-ranging view of Nordstrom’s entire inventory, including all stores and warehouses. Nordstrom relates purchasing with demand to keep inventory lean and show customers and employees Nordstrom’s inventory. Nordstrom keeps its items in stock for an extremely short period of time so that if a customer wants it, they only have

Today Unions have a feud with outsourcing, the union employees are losing their once thought secure job to outsourcing. This is due to a company 's drive to increase profits, decisions of lower wage and job loss occurs. When a US company 's looks for other options of employment, it usually come down to outsourcing, subcontracting, and privatization, these options that companies take to increase profit. Union job security isn’t always so secure, often-union contracts discuss the effects outsourcing, but not make the decision to layoff an employee in favor of outsourcing. However this contract makes union workers bargain over their jobs, by lowering their wages and if they do not agree with the bargain then the companies are able to layoff employee, and replaces them with outsourcing. Unions are able to fight these companies for an agreement to be made, for instance, if a union as a whole decides to agree with these new terms of lower wages, the company is unable to let the employees go. Instead the unions will agree to terms with their jobs being taken away and sent overseas, unions often lobby to retaliate their termination.

One of the major issues the union is dealing with is the steady decline in union membership which is occurring mainly in the private sector. Another major issue that they are dealing with is the rise in income inequality. The current low-wage and part-time job market has led to dangerous work and inequality. Unifor has submitted its written recommendations for Bill 148 which will be used to take important steps to address the gaps that represent so much of today’s workplace.

From early 2006, ‘WorkChoices’ legislation has claimed to invoke protection against unfair dismissal for employees and prioritized individual contracts to undercut award conditions. It also restricted union on accessing to workplaces and industrial action Overall, the main external challenges are caused by financialization which including restructured product and labour markets, antagonistic employers and legislation restriction. In addition, internal challenges contained declining in resources and memberships, which made unions realised that small unions could not survive in a neoliberal environment. Thus, a structural reform of merger wave would be embarked to respond a declining density, resulting in increased membership services and union power.

These two articles discuss the violation of workers rights in the United Kingdom by both the government and labor unions themselves. The first article discusses laws enacted by the British government that allowed employers to coerce employees to leave the union and the cases brought to the UCHR while the second article discusses the infringement of workers right by the unions themselves through the process of blacklisting workers. Both these examples, and the long duration of time these cases happened, surprised me given the longstanding history of workers rights in Britain and my American idea of modern British fairness and left leaning ideals.

As we know that, there are still some workplaces are lack of employee representations, for example, smaller firms. According to the British Trades Union Congress, there were types of vulnerable workers, such as agency workers, atypical workers, young workers, industrial home workers, etc. Vulnerable workers can be defined as ’someone working in an environment where the risk of being denied employment rights is high and who does not have the capacity or means to protect themselves from that abuse. Both factors need to be present. A worker may be susceptible to vulnerability, but that is only significant if an employer exploits that vulnerability’ (DTI, 2006: 25). They are lack of employment protection (Pollert and Charlwood, 2009) and no union representations. They have no opportunity to express their opinion and no right to negotiate with their employers about their working conditions and terms. The UK government should set up unions for these vulnerable workers, in order to help them to receive better treat from their employers. Moreover, there is a significant decline in trade union recognition and representation and the nature of negotiation shifts to consultation (Terry, 2010). As it mentioned above, there is no absolute right to representation in the UK at the moment. The most common way to negotiate with firms is through the trade union. However, trade union
