This is a two-part assignment where you are expected to address Parts 1 and 2 in one well-written essay.
Part 1:
Explain and respond to the following statement: "It is not the union that organizes the employees; it is management." In your essay, craft responses that a union organizer might make to some of the following statements from the Labor Relations in Action feature shown below:
Labor Relations in Action
Objections to Joining the Union
"Why should I join the union when I get exactly the same wages and benefits without joining?"
"I can't afford to join. I've got a family to support, and my check just isn't big enough (to cover union dues)."
"I don't need a union. My employer is fair and will take care of me. What could the union get for me that I wouldn't have gotten anyway?"
"The union does not do anything for you [grievances are not settled satisfactorily]. I don't like the people who are running things in the union."
"I don't know enough about the local or the union movement."
"I'm not interested. I just don't want to join."
"I'll think about it. Maybe I'll join someday."
