Homework: The Role of Unions in the Twenty-First Century
What will be the role of labor unions in the twenty-first century? Some argue that the traditional role of the union in protecting the worker has been usurped by significant legislation protecting the worker against discrimination, unsafe work conditions, and unfair pay. Others point out that unions remain indispensable for several reasons; for example, because "at-will" employment is still the law of the land, meaning that most workers can be fired for any reason.

2) How does the presence of a union influence the job of the HR professional?
