Part 2
As nations around the world become increasingly interconnected and interdependent, it is critical to foster an understanding of labor relations systems in other parts of the world. To encourage this understanding, this individual work requires you to examine the similarities and differences between labor relations systems in the United States and another country.
Write a paper in which you compare the labor relations system in the United States with that of any other country (e.g., Germany, Japan, Sweden, Canada). Answer the following questions during your comparison:
• What features of each company's system are better? Explain.
• What features of the other country's system, if any, should the United States adopt?
