Assignment
You are a supervisor with your firm and a member of an employee-involvement program designed to enable employees to negotiate collectively with top management on such issues as benefits and pay rates. You recently have been trying to persuade top management not to reduce costs by cutting existing health coverage. Top management refuses to negotiate and plans to proceed with the cuts without exploring other options. Talk of a strike begins to circulate. Top management responds by arguing that the employee-involvement program has no authority to call a strike and if it does so its members will be fired.
What could you do next? Just roll over and accept benefits cuts that you as workers think are unnecessary? Invite an independent union to organize your workplace?
