Based upon your experience or recent research, what are some examples of grievances? If you had to report a grievance to the NLRB, what steps would you take?

/in /by

The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) of 1935 was established to help protect the rights of employees and employers, encourage collective bargaining, and discourage harmful labor and management practices. It also created the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). When employees work at a unionized company, the union negotiates for wages, hours, and other workplace factors. However, if an employee or group of employees finds that their company is not following parts of the collective bargaining agreement, they can file a grievance. In your assignment, please answer the following questions:

  • Based upon your experience or recent research, what are some examples of grievances?
  • If you had to report a grievance to the NLRB, what steps would you take?
  • Using recent examples, what are the differences between mediation and arbitration?
  • If you were a human resources (HR) professional, what strategies would you recommend the company take to create a work climate where disputes could be resolved and grievances are a last resort?

Understanding Role of Unions in Canadian

Understanding Role of Unions in Canadian (28%)

Team Project

Due Week 11, Sep. 26, Midnight

Include proper in-text citations and APA style referencing for all sources. A minimum of 15 references are required. Follow the APA Report style but DONOT include executive summary or conclusion – This way you can use your 1500 words towards analysis.

 

Given that Union density is significantly decreasing in Canada – you are required to write a 1500-word paper emphasizing on the following:

a) How has the role of HRM as a department changed/modified in the absence of unions, in Canada? Based on your research, discuss whether HRM can be a justifiable/fair replacement for unions in Canada? (You can treat this section as your introduction and keep it short because your main analysis is Q2 & 3)

b) With strict federal and provincial employment laws – governing employer, and employee relationship – can Canadian employees still be exploited? This answer must be supported with real case examples taken from Canadian workplace. Descriptive answers will be marked down

c) Which industries do you believe can still benefit from union associations in Canada? Again, use Canadian industry examples to illustrate the usefulness of Unions in specific industries and vice versa. Descriptive answers will be marked down (This section will be equivalent to the recommendations section because you are recommending the use of unions within certain industries.)

Requirements: TEAM CHARTER – GROUP SUBMISSION 1%- You are required to submit team charter for the team project after you have finalized your team members (only one charter per team). You should agree on meeting times, team goals, allocation of tasks and deadlines for work submission. Signing the charter means you all agree to the goals and tasks. Hand over the team charter to your instructor in week 5 using ‘dropbox’ submission available in week 5.

TEAM EVALUATIONS – INDIVIDUAL SUBMISSION 1% – In week 10 each team member will separately submit the team evaluation form using ‘dropbox’ submission. Inform your instructor right away if any team member is not cooperating and not performing the assigned tasks. After the result is out instructor will not be responsible for any group conflicts that were not communicated in advance.

Each team has to have 5 members strictly – A team with less than 5 people will not be accepted by instructor and your paper will not be checked. If you have a serious issue that requires exception contact your instructor right away and seek permission/approval.

Assessment Criteria:

You will be marked for the following:

1. Clarity: Refers to clarity of writing – How easily understandable your concepts are. How grammatically correct the entire project is. Although simple, error free English is okay but at post grad level you are required to write in formal/academic style.

2. References/Sources: You are required to use at least 15 references for the team project (at least 6 of 15 references should be academic/peer reviewed)

3. Formatting: Assignment should adhere to the APA formatting style; Times new roman, font size 12, double spacing. You should also know the difference between essay/paper and report.

4. Coherence: Since this is a team project, this should not look like different pieces of writing put together. The paper should have connectivity, good transitions, and coherence throughout.

5. Analysis: Analysis is at the heart of paper – this project requires you to analyse either regions or multinational companies and their union relations globally. You must focus your analysis on region specific/company specific knowledge. Theoretical assignments will be marked down. Use as many region specific/company specific examples as you can.

6. Paper requirements: Lastly, you will be assessed based on whether you have answered the questions being asked AND whether your group understood the paper requirements or not.

The Team Project will be graded from 28% as per the rubric mentioned below.

Assignment 2.3: Justification Report – Part 3 (Final)

/in /by

Assignment 2.3: Justification Report – Part 3 (Final)
Due Week 7 and worth 200 points

In Assignments 2.1 (Part 1) and 2.2 (Part 2) of the Justification Report, you built up the major parts of your formal, researched justification report (Problem Statement, Overview of Alternatives, Criteria, Methods, Evaluation of Alternatives, Findings and Analysis, and References). You will begin Part 3 by inserting your revisions of Parts 1 and 2 based on your instructor’s suggestions. Then, you will include a few new additions:

Use the basic outline below to draft your paper. Organize your responses to each question under the following section headings:

  • Introduction (for Question 1)
    • Problem Statement (for Question 1a)
    • Terminology (for Question 1b)
    • Major Sections of the Report (for Question 1c)
    • Scope and Limitations of the Research (for Question 1d)
  • Preliminary Parts (for Question 2)
  • Recommendation (for Question 3)
  • References (for Question 4)

Write a four (4) page, single-spaced report in which you: 

  1. Create an introduction that tells what your report is about.
    1. Include the Problem Statement that you already created and revised in Part 1.
    2. Include terms that readers will need to know in order to understand the report.
    3. Briefly summarize the major sections and findings of the report that you’ve developed in Parts 1 and 2.
    4. Discuss what your report will cover and what it will not.
  2. Create the preliminary parts of the report that precede the Introduction (after reading Chapter 12 in your Professional Communications textbook), which includes:
    1. Title Page
    2. Transmittal
    3. Table of Contents
    4. Executive Summary
      Note: Use small Roman numerals to number the pages of the preliminary parts of the report.
  3. Create the Recommendation section of the Report.
    1. Provide a one to two (1-2) sentence recommendation based on what your Evaluation of Alternatives and Findings and Analysis sections have determined is the most feasible alternative (i.e. solution) to the problem in the Problem Statement.
  4. Create the References sections, which goes at the end of the Report, by pasting in your revised References page.

Note: Remember to organize the report by the section headings. The report should reflect a style and format appropriate for business; single spacing and bullet points are acceptable for formal business reports.

Your assignment must:

  • Be typed, single spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
