The second research paper for this class will focus on labor relations law, and you will have two options to choose from.  Despite the longevity of labor unions in the US, the existence and power of unions remain an issue in our society. Recent history reveals a decline in union membership and power after a peak in the 1960s and 70s. The past few years have seen passage in many states of so-called Right to Work laws which further erode the power of unions. And public employees have seen their wages and benefits under attack as school districts, cities and states scramble to balance budgets by cutting expenditures.

 

Option 1.

Despite the current conditions, unions have not given up and, in some instances, are trying new approaches or new locations to expand membership.   One such effort is the ongoing attempt by the United Auto Workers (UAW) to establish a foothold in auto factories in the South. An attempt was made at a VW plant in Tennessee early in 2014, and after a contentious and divisive campaign, the UAW lost a close election. However, the UAW apparently was not discouraged by this outcome and are at it again. In 2015 the UAW has continued an effort to organize a Mercedes-Benz plant in Alabama, as well as the VW plant in Tennessee.

Search the web for all you can find both on the effort to unionize the VW plant in Tennessee and the Mercedes plant in Alabama.  The paper you will write will essentially have two sections, and should be appropriately separated. In section 1 you should analyze the approach/strategy utilized by the UAW in Tennessee, with the approach used in Alabama. What are the differences and similarities between the approaches? Are conditions in the two plants similar or different that would justify using either the same or a different approach? Why do you think they again focused on a plant making a German brand, what is the significance of doing so? Discuss these questions and whether you think the UAW will be any more successful this time around, in either Tennessee or Alabama.

In section 2 of the paper you will need to explore the social, political, and economic factors at play in the South. Why is an anti-union attitude apparently so prevalent in the South? Who does this opposition to unions benefit and why? Who does it harm and why? Would union-level wages and benefits provide an economic boost to many of the Southern states that have some of the lowest average incomes and highest levels of poverty in the nation? Why or why not? What do you believe are the reasons behind the oppositionto unions in the South? And why is the UAW determined to unionize plants there?

 

Option 2.

The paper you will write will have two sections, and should be appropriately separated.

The United Auto Workers Union (UAW) has been engaged in contract negotiations with the Big 3 Automakers in Detroit for many months. Starting with Fiat Chrysler earlier in the fall, then General Motors, and now with Ford, union leadership has had trouble gaining the requisite number of votes from the union membership in affected plants to approve the agreements, which were hammered out with the companies. And now, employees of the Kohler Company in Wisconsin, also represented by the UAW, went on strike the week of November 16.

In section 1 – research these separate but possibly related situations. Identify and discuss the issue(s) that are leading auto company workers to resist and possibly reject the agreements negotiated by their leadership, and the issue(s) that caused the Kohler workers to strike. Are the issues similar from situation to situation? Please explain why or why not? In your opinion, will resolution of these issues favorably for the workers help to strengthen the UAW in the long run or weaken it?  And lastly, are these situations caused by a failure of the union leadership, or by economic and/or societal and/or political factors beyond their control?  Fully discuss all these questions.

In section 2 of the paper you will need to look at potential efforts to organize workers in a broad spectrum of organizations/industries, including Wal-Mart, McDonalds, and Quicken Loans. Look into these or other situations you come across in your research. Who is behind the effort(s) – is it workers seeking higher wages and/or other benefits, or is there a union behind the efforts attempting to expand its membership? What is the general profile of the workers in these organizations/industries – younger or older, blue collar or white collar, low income or middle/high income? Can you draw any parallels with the workers in these organizations/industries and their issues & concerns, with the workers and their issues & concerns in the Big 3 auto companies and in Kohler? Finally , do you think these efforts indicate a renewed interest or faith in unions or will unions continue to decline in popularity and strength? Discuss fully.

 

For either Option – write a 6-8 page paper (exclusive of cover and reference pages). The paper must be word-processed, double-spaced with 1” margins, 12 point font, follow APA 6^th Edition format, and be free of spelling and grammatical errors. At a minimum, you should utilize, cite within the text of your paper, and reference at least three sources for each of the two sections. Please see the rubric in the Weekly Materials section to fully understand the expectations and grading scheme for this assignment.

Due Week 9 and worth 150 points

When faced with a problem, what do you do to solve it? This assignment asks you to apply a six-step to problem solving process to a specific problem scenario. You will write a paper that presents a synthesis of your ideas about solving the problem using this systematic approach. As Voltaire said, “No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking.”

Choose one (1) of the problem scenarios as a topic choice for your paper (Note: Your professor must approve your topic choice before you begin work on the assignment.)

Scenario 1: You have worked at your company for eleven (11) years. You have returned to college to earn a Bachelor’s degree in order to increase your chances for a promotion. You are nearly finished with your degree, when a supervisor’s position in a competing company becomes available in another state. The start date is in two (2) weeks, during your final exam period for your courses. The position offers a $15,000 per year salary increase, a car allowance, and relocation expenses. Your former supervisor works for the company and is recommending you for the position based on your outstanding job performance; if you want the job, it’s yours. All of the other supervisors at this level in the company have Master’s degrees, so you know that you would be expected to earn your Bachelor’s degree and continue on to a Master’s degree. Your present company offers tuition reimbursement, but the new company does not.

Scenario 2: Your child comes home from school with an assignment sheet for a school project. He / she is very excited about the project and begins work immediately, doing research on the Internet and gathering materials. You read over the assignment sheet and notice that your child is not including all of the required items in the project, and you have some ideas for how to improve the quality of the presentation. You recently read an article in a parenting magazine about the importance of a child developing responsibility for his/ her own learning. You recall the many ways in which your parents took over your school projects. You, on the other hand, want to encourage your child’s confidence in his / her ability to complete a project independently. The next day, you are at the grocery store when you see a parent of a student in your child’s class. That parent has spent over $30 in supplies for the science project and is taking a day off of work to put the pieces of the project together.

Scenario 3: You have two jobs—one during the week from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, and one on Saturday from 3:00 pm to 11:00 pm. You are taking two classes—one that meets from 6:00 to 10:00 pm, and one class online. You have two kids—one who plays soccer, and one who is in band. You have two elderly parents who no longer drive. You have two siblings—one who lives two (2) miles away, and one who lives in another state. You have two (2) papers due in your classes the same week that one (1) of your children has a soccer tournament, and the other child has a band concert. You are coaching the soccer team, and you are in charge of fundraising for the band. You have a goal to complete your degree in two (2) years. Your doctor tells you that your blood pressure, your cholesterol, and your weight are too high and recommends several medications that cost you nearly $200 per month after your insurance co-pay.

Scenario 4: You are a sales representative for a company that encourages staff to log time in the field and away from the office. You are expected to begin and end your day at the office. You notice that each day when you arrive and return another co-worker is already there, and you wonder whether this person spends most of his / her time at the office. At your weekly sales meeting, you are informed of your co-workers’ outstanding sales performance. You suspect that this co-worker is spending more time flattering the boss instead of working leads in the field, and as a result is getting the best client referrals. Your own sales numbers have steadily decreased since this other sales representative was hired.

Scenario 5: Professor’s Choice – problem scenario presented by your professor.

Scenario 6: Student’s Choice – Problem scenario presented by you.

Review the six-step problem solving process outlined in the webtext, based on the article “The Problem Solving Process” located at http://www.gdrc.org/decision/problem-solve.html:

• Step One: Define the problem
• Step Two: Analyze the problem
• Step Three: Generate options
• Step Four: Evaluate options
• Step Five: Make your decision
• Step Six: Implement and reflect

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

1. Define the problem in the scenario that you have chosen.

2. Analyze the problem in the scenario.

3. Generate options for solving the problem in the scenario.

4. Evaluate the options for solving the problem.

5. Decide on the best option for solving the problem.

6. Explain how you will implement the decision made and reflect on whether this option was the most effective.

The paper should follow guidelines for clear and organized writing:

Research Paper (200 points)
Length: 5-6 pages
Format: MLA
Times New Roman 12-point font
Double spaced
One-inch margins
NO title page
Header on the left of page one with your name, professor’s name, class name, and due date
Last name and page number on the top right of each page
Parenthetical (in-text) citations and accompanyingannotated bibliography that adhere to MLA conventions

The Assignment:
For this final project you have a couple of options: you can either continue the work you started with your issue proposal and exploratory essay—which asked you to learn more about your chosen issue, assess multiple perspectives on the matter, and close with conclusions you’ve drawn—or you can select a new debatable (that is, one that has two or more sides) issue to write a research paper about. In 5-6 pages you will be expected toresearch the conversation going on around the issue you’ve selected, and, ultimately, participate in it by writing an argument supported by evidence to back up your position.Push beyond simply using research to inform the reader about your chosen issue (i.e. reporting) and, instead, use that research to figure out what more can be said about this issue: provide an original claim and support it.
Though your peers and I may be your actual audience, yourimagined audience is fellow academics—that is, writers that are invested in this issue and could potentially read your work, so cater your argument to them.

Composing Process&Guidance:

Step 1: Draft your thesis statement, the claim that is grounding your argument and that you are aiming to support. It should answer your research question. In your claim aim to answer the “so what?” question. In other words, why is your contribution important and, quite literally, why should your reader care about it?

Step 2: Structure your argument/ organize your supporting points (i.e. the smaller claims that will support your thesis statement). As you define these points, match the sources/evidence to them that you feel will really “drive them home.” Establishing these connections will help to make your drafting process much more streamlined. That’s another perk of annotated bibliographies: you get to see those relationships early on.

Step 3: Draft your introduction. The expectation for research introductions is that they not only establish what the remainder of the essay will be arguing, but that the reader also get an overview of the conversation taking place (i.e. what’s being said by others also invested in this issue). What this asks you to do is take the sources you’ve selected (that are most pertinent to your argument) and first briefly summarize them then synthesize them. What relationship do your sources have with one another? Your annotated bibliography should help you identify patterns. It’s assumed that your thesis will then add a new dimension to what’s going on between these said sources. How does your claim fit in? What is it contributing?

Step 4: Start developing your supporting points into body paragraphs incorporating your evidence all the while. Consider each supporting point a section of your argument. This does not necessarily mean that each supporting point will be one paragraph long. You may find that a minor supporting point will only need one or two paragraphs whereas an involved one will need more, and that’s expected. Regardless, each paragraph should begin with a topic sentence that clearly establishes what that paragraph will discuss and end with a transition that wraps up the ideas just presented and sets up the reader for the ideas to come in the following paragraph.
*Consider topic sentences fences that help keep the idea being expressed “contained.”

Step 5: Keep drafting, keep researching (you may find that your thesis statement evolves and that you need to investigate more as you move further along), seek out feedback, and be ready for the scheduled workshop.

The Conclusion: This is essentially a reworking of your introduction that’s framed in such a way that the reader understands you are wrapping up your discussion and tying up loose ends. It should reiterate your thesis statement and synthesize (weave together) your most significant sources once again. Avoid beginning with “In conclusion” and do not introduce new supporting claims at this point.
