The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.

Union negotiations for your company will begin next month and you have been asked to advise management during the process. Your specific task is to make sure all parts of the final agreement preserve employees’ civil rights. You would like to educate yourself by researching other companies’ collective bargaining outcomes.

Using the library or other Web resources, locate a real-life example of when contract rights secured through collective bargaining conflict with civil rights.

• Summarize the scenario.
• Include the link(s) where you found your information.
• Explain how you will use this information to prepare for your own company’s collective bargaining negotiations.
