Assignment
The mention of unions tends to make business managers and human resource (HR) professionals cringe, although that need not be the case. Employees have the right to unionize to protect themselves and establish good work conditions that satisfy their needs.
In many cases, unions make it easier to manage employees as all employees are governed under a single contract, making employment decisions straightforward. However, the power of a union can be abused, making the employment relationship more challenging. Furthermore, working with unions requires knowledge of additional laws, which can be overwhelming in practice.
In this assignment, you will analyze employment laws related to unionization in the workplace.

• What rights does the act give an employer or employees?
