Union Letter
To Whom it May Concern:
It is with great enthusiasm that I declare my interest in advancing to the position of manager in charge of union affairs with our organization. The job and its many critical responsibilities correspond directly with my own skills and ambitions for advancement. Indeed, in my desire to advance the company and its interests, I believe that my virtues are best put to use in advocacy for the workers that make our company great.
I possess a particular skill set in human mediation that will translate well to the rigors of union management. This is critical because the position requires a unique balance between endorsement of labor rights and recognition of a company's limitations. Where the historical relationship between unions and any form of management has been a rocky one, today there is a greater focus on finding ground for cooperation and collaboration. As Tschida (2006) observes,...
But these days, frontline workers aren't the only ones uniting when it comes to unions. In fact, many effective union representatives partner with management to achieve company goals." (Tschida, p. 1)
This is true because ultimately, a company and a union must be symbiotic. While they may perceive their goals as very different from one another, they share the same ultimate objective which is seeing to the company's survival and success. Everybody benefits in that scenario. I also recognize that it is counterproductive to view this position as an adversarial one. As New Unionism (2012) warns, "unionists who find themselves responsible for supervising and managing their union's staff are not only often unprepared, skill-wise, but they also have a strong aversion to being managers.

Letter Against Unionization Dear Mr. Hines Thank you for our recent discussion regarding the American Professionals Union's attempt to organize our nursing staff. The nurses have made their many grievances known and I have listened intently to their rationale about unionizing. With the widespread shortage of nurses, many hospitals have given way to unionization. This is not a new trend. It is a popular way for nurses to resolve challenges and negotiate
To intimidate striking workers or escort strike breakers, workers who would replace the individuals striking, across picket lines some employers contracted private companies like the Pinkerton Detective Agency. The United States Department of Labor reports that the Coal Strike of 1902 proved to be a turning point in U.S. policy. On October 3, 1902, to address the strike in the Pennsylvania anthracite coal fields that he perceived to threaten a
In refusing to bargain or negotiate with Mr. Bolton, attorney for Mr. Allen, the Postal Service was upholding its contract with the Union to consider the Union the sole bargaining agent for Mr. Allen and other rural mail carriers. The Union's claim that management discounted the information provided by Mr. Bolton because he was a non-bargaining agent is a gross misrepresentation of the occurrence; no real information was provided by
Labor unions are associations of workers for the purpose of improving the economic status and working conditions of the employees through collective bargaining with employers (Union pp). The two general types of unions are the horizontal, or craft, union, which is composed of members who are skilled in a particular craft, such as the International Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, and the vertical, or industrial, union, which includes
European Union's Policy Towards The Conflict In The Middle East The Palestinian-Israeli conflict has always been of major concern to Europe because of the importance of this festering issue that has defied all attempts at a satisfactory solution for the last half-century and because of Europe's proximity of the Middle East. Prior to 1973, the EU member countries had differing policies with the Gaullist France displaying a pro-Arab bias and countries
The Northerners are better prepared, better led, and more respected, and deserve a chance to govern their country with any political system they see fit. The war in Vietnam to them is about decolonization, and the removal of Japanese, French, and American forces from Vietnamese shores. The choice of communism is in order to receive military support from other communist countries, but the expansion of communism in Vietnam is
