Question: Complete the case study: The Right to Contract Out.
Respond to the five questions in an essay/research paper format.
1. Which party has the burden of proof? Which level of proof should be used? Why?
2. Is this case a matter of "good faith" on the part of the Company or a contract interpretation issue? Why? Why not?
3. Develop some general guidelines for companies to retain the right to contract out bargaining unit work.
4. When a company contracts out work formerly performed by bargaining unit employees, is the company violating the recognition clause of the Labor Agreement?
5. Be the arbitrator. How do you rule? Why?
Use the APA Style Guide format for your headings and your reference citations.
As to the question of how many pages are expected, no less nor no more than is needed to thoroughly address the questions posed at the end of the case (maybe the equivalent of 5 - 8 double-spaced pages). Because business professionals must communicate clearly, I will be giving attention to spelling, grammar, and form, as well as content.
