Discussion:
Some unions feel that the organization does not compensate its members fairly, or the organizational working conditions are less than desired. Conversely, some employers feel unions interfere with management decisions and impede on a positive relationship between managers and employees. There may be some truth to both perceptions. The final paper is intended to provide a ‘blueprint' or ‘roadmap' on the effective strategies an organization can implement to create and maintain a conducive working relationship with unions, as well as the effective strategies a union can implement to create and maintain a conducive working relationship with management.
