The employees at your organization have formed a union, and the bargaining process now begins. Write a case study in which you analyze the situation. First, begin with background information about the negotiation, and make certain to address the areas below.

  • Identify the state where the organization is located. Is the state a right-to-work state? If yes, explain what this means. If no, explain what this means. Why are the employees deciding to unionize? What are the mandatory bargaining subjects? Other than wages and hours, what are five other terms and conditions of employment? What are permissive bargaining subjects that will be negotiated? List at least five.
  • Second, you need to select members of your bargaining team. You will select four supervisors who were identified in the Unit VI Lesson. Discuss why you selected each supervisor, and compare/contrast their conflict management styles. Each supervisor must have a different conflict style. Explain how each supervisor can contribute to conflict resolution strategies used during negotiation.
  • Third, explain the two collective bargaining strategies, and identify which one you will recommend your team to use. Explain and support your rationale.
  • Finally, what will you propose happens if a labor management agreement is not reached by your team and the employee representatives?

Your case study must be a minimum of three pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages. Your case study should present an insightful and thorough analysis with strong arguments and evidence. You must use three academically reliable sources to support your analysis.

Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, and make certain to include in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed.

Why do we do things in that way? How do we see the world? Why do we react in that particular way?

Week 5 SA: Intercultural Awareness No unread replies. No replies.

Cultural Awareness is the foundation of communication and it involves the ability of standing back from ourselves and becoming aware of our cultural values, beliefs and perceptions. Why do we do things in that way? How do we see the world? Why do we react in that particular way?

Cultural awareness becomes central when we have to interact with people from other cultures. People see, interpret and evaluate things in a different ways. What is considered an appropriate behavior in one culture is frequently inappropriate in another one. Misunderstandings arise when I use my meanings to make sense of your reality.

You are to develop and deliver a speech of between 4 and 5 minutes in which you discuss your anticipated efforts in becoming a more open communicator and your approach to overcoming communication barriers with co-cultures. This speech should be persuasive and include persuasive talking points regarding how you and the audience should overcome boundaries to better your cultural communication. You will have a 30-second grace period and will not lose points for speeches that are no more than 30 seconds over the approved time limit. Speeches that are more than 30 seconds over will be subject to a deduction in points from the final grade (-3 points for every 15 seconds after the allotted grace period).

To complete this assignment, record your video directly to Canvas or post a link to an active YouTube video. Be sure to do this early enough for others to view and critique your speech.
