Assignment:

Discussion Questions, Managing with Organized Labor

Choose only THREE (3) questions to answer - the three you find most beneficial to your learning and insight on this chapter. This new format is due to feedback I received from students about chapter review questions feeling more like busy work than learning. Thanks again for the course insight and enjoy the change!

Responses to these questions should be found in the assigned chapter and/or assigned current articles. Submit your answers as an attached word document.
