Some of the callers on the show who said that they were not in favor of employees said that they didn't like things like the seniority system. This system was put into place to protect older employees against discriminatory treatment and was a gain achieved by unions. Some of the callers were also not in favor of tenure, which the unions also achieved in order to protect employees from unfair and wrongful termination. For this discussion, answer the following questions: Do you think the negative perception that many people in the United States have of unions is because people don't realize how things were at one time and the gains that we now take for granted (minimum wage, weekends off, for example)? Would losing these gains give a new perspective on unions? Next, consider the following: In Sweden and Norway, 60-70% of employees are unionized. In the United States, now 11% of employees are union members. Address the following questions: Why do you think that there is such a difference between the two countries? Why do you think the number in the States is so low?
