Jill Bartok is a line supervisor for an East Coast center for Speedy Delivery Services. This high-speed delivery company has both national and international deliveries ongoing continually. The area where Jill works is secured and monitored. Loaders and handlers process thousands of parcels every day. Jill has four crews whose shifts normally overlap. Crew 2 has the 3 PM to midnight shift. Bob Carnaghan is the crew chief and is responsible for the orderly flow of packages from the receiving dock to the shipping dock. This includes packages that have to be shipped out from the local franchise shipping stores. Jill receives a note from Jim Ferguson, crew chief of Crew 3, that a small access door that should usually be locked has been found unsecured for the past two nights just after the start of the 11 PM to 8 AM shift. The security camera in that area does not quite cover the door itself. There have been no other reports of problems in that area. Review of the security tapes shows normal flow of workers in and around the door for the past two nights. Jill is concerned that the door may have been left unsecured prior to being found open by Jim Ferguson. The door opens to a hall that connects to the employee break room that is not in a secured part of the facility. Jill decides to go to HR to discuss possibilities.

  • Is there a security problem? If yes, is it a major problem?
  • What actions, if any, should HR take?

Response to Union Organizing Campaign (Paper)

/in /by

 

You are the Employee Relations Specialist for a national retail company with locations across the United States. The nearly 500 company employees are diverse in terms of age and demographic differences. Your primary work location is Southeast Pennsylvania. Recently, the employees in the mid-Atlantic region, managed by Kristopher Kolumbus, have expressed dissatisfaction with the work environment. There are approximately 125 employees in the mid-Atlantic region. Their specific concerns include receiving small pay raises for the past 2 – 3 years, limited employee benefits, lack of career mobility and progression, and heightened security controls implemented due to theft concerns. There has been recent talk among the employees about the possibility of unionization, and some workers have begun exploring options such as United Food & Commercial Workers International Union and the Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store Union. Before either of these unions will send an organizer to the organization, it wants to be sure that sufficient employees will back union representation. Some employees have started company-wide communication to increase interest in unionization.

As the Employee Relations Specialist, it is your responsibility to ensure that supervisors and managers follow the rules regarding a union organizing campaign. In response to this potential campaign, you decide to take some initial actions and prepare several documents to share with your boss, the Director of Human Resources:

  • A summary email to the Director of Human Resources describing the issues and what actions you are taking (which include the below items)
  • A one-page memo to all managers and supervisors indicating what they can and cannot do during any union organizing effort.
  • An email to your human resource colleagues about actions the HR team should consider in response to some of the concerns raised by the Mid-Atlantic Region employees
  • An outline for a meeting to be held between Human Resources and the organization’s leadership team regarding the organizing effort

Requirements include:

  • Cover Page with Name, Date, and Title of Assignment
  • Each of the 4 items indicated above (summary email, one-page memo, email to your human resource colleagues, and outline for a meeting)
  • Headings to separate the sections of the paper
  • A minimum of three sources (two must be from the course materials) for each response
  • In-text citations in APA style
  • Reference page using APA style

On Human Capital (250 Words)

/in /by

“The neoliberal understanding of human abilities as sources of potential income redefines child-rearing by treating a broader range of activities of care and cultivation, and not only educational and professional training, as potential ‘investments’ in the human capital of children.”

Susan Koshy argues that, under neoliberalism, parents understand that raising their children is about making investments in human capital. Have you experienced this in your own life? In what ways have your parents treated you like an investment? In what way have they treated you otherwise? How do you know the difference?
