Do you think that factory wages in total during the strike would be higher, lower, or the same throughout the strike and negotiations as compared to earlier in the year? Explain. mHust Born Quality Confections (Just Born) makesmarshmallow Peeps, Mike andamales, and other candies. The companyhas approximately 600 employees privately-held. Its headquarters and Peepsfactory are in Bethlehem, Pennsyivana. In September 2016, the factory employeesrepresented by the Bakery, Corfeconery, Tobacco Workers and Grain MillersInternational Union of America al 6 went on strike and walked off the job.Nearly 400 workers at Just Born are members of this union.The union employees returned to work in early October after being on strike forabout a month. During the strike, the company did hire 56 replacement workers, sonot everyone was able to return to their old job after the strike. Also, during thestrike, some employees did cross the picket line to work, so Just Born had a mixtureof experienced and new employees in the factory during the strike.Fall is Just Born's busiest time of the year. Production is being ramped up to meetthe demand for Peeps during the Easter season.The negotiations have not been finalized and the possibility of a return to the strikeremains.

Just Born wants newemployees to participate in a 401(k) plan rather than the company's pension plan.Just Born has stated the current pension plan will stay the same for all currentemployees, but the union disagrees. The other point of disagreement is the amountof pay increases for employees.hp

Andrew Carnegie at one point was the wealthiest man in American with the intent of giving away his millions. Carnegie used some hard-nosed tactics to earn that money. He underpaid workers, although he believed he was paying a good wage, and hired replacement workers when his workforce went on strike, which essentially broke the union. Carnegie also did not invest in safety procedures to protect his workers, which exposed them to potential injury or death. Andrew Carnegie, however, was not worse than others. Most, if not all, capitalists followed the same set of policies. Discuss this issue. How should we view Andrew Carnegie and his philanthropy? Should we criticize him for how he made his money, or does how he spent his money supersede those concerns? Among many causes, Carnegie spent millions building libraries across the country and funded a retirement fund for teachers to invest in their futures. Every generation can face this question. Today, we look at Bill Gates of…
