Article Critique

Hurd, R. W. (2013). Moving beyond the critical synthesis: Does the law preclude a future for US unions? Labor History, 54(2), 193-200.

This article is a reflective essay that assesses the strength of comments made by Christopher L. Tomlins in his book The State and Unions (1985), which looks back over the past quarter century. Various predictions were made concerning union decline and failed revival efforts as well as counterfeit rights offered to the U.S. working class.

Using all of the knowledge accumulated in this unit and in previous units, write a critique of the article. You may use other academic resources to support your points as necessary. Your critique must be at least three pages in length.

Your critique should address the questions below.

  • What are the author’s main points?
  • Do the arguments presented by the author support the main point?
  • What evidence supports the main point? For example, if Tomlin’s thesis that the New Deal offered only a counterfeit liberty to labor is true, what effect does that have on employee morale?
  • Briefly describe two collective bargaining strategies companies use when dealing with unions. How can these strategies affect employee morale?
  • What is your opinion of the article?
  • What evidence, either from the textbook or from additional sources, supports your opinion?

Be sure to follow the guidelines below.

  • Accurately identify the premise and supporting points from the article.
  • Provide an insightful and thorough analysis of the information from the article, including using evidence as well as reasonable and compelling interpretations.
  • Link material to course content and real-world situations.
  • Organize the material logically by using smooth transitions and by grouping similar material together.
  • Cite all sources used; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations in APA format.

Human Resource Management Wk 4

Imagine the managers of your company neglect to delegate tasks, and as a result they are not meeting their goals. After an assessment, it is determined that an improvement in management skills is needed. Two outside training programs are identified that will meet your company’s needs, one involving experiential programs, and the other an interactive computer program. Explain the pros and cons of each technique, and decide which one would you choose and why.

Why is it important for organizations to provide diversity-training programs? What goals can be achieved through this type of training? What special requirements, if any, should be part of the training in order to realize those goals, and why?

“Making a murderer”

Serial podcast: Season 1 & Making a murderer No unread replies. No replies.

For those interested in the intersection of psychology and law I have a few recommendations for you. Serial podcast: Season 1 (Links to an external site.) & 3 (Links to an external site.) and “Making a murderer” featured investigations into murders or crime, and they highlight many fascinating links to social and cognitive psychology.

Find making a murderer on netflix. You may also be interested in “the 13th” on netflix.

Some other material related to race, social psychology, and criminal justice that might interest you: Bryan Stevenson’s “Just Mercy (Links to an external site.)” or Michelle Alexander’s “The New Jim Crow (Links to an external site.)” are excellent reads. Finally, the podcast entitled “White Lies (Links to an external site.)” discusses the murder and cover up of James Reeb’s who was killed in Selma after a protest march.

If you’ve seen/heard these shows or read related books, share your experiences here. What were some of the interesting things you learned about psychology and law from the programs or books?
