Labor Relations
I believe that the right to strike is an intrinsic element of the collective bargaining process, but not that strikes are. A strike is a situation where the workforce withholds its labor, usually in response to not having a contract. Certainly, workers are under no obligation to work without a collective bargaining agreement, in those situations where the company has agreed to the collective bargaining process. Workers should also have the right to bargain collectively, as there is often a collective interest (U.S. DoL, 2015).

This description is usually accompanied by countless stories and mini- histories involving persons,
The Song also affirms, albeit, that humans consist of more than mere bodies. Francis Landy (2007), University of Alberta, notes in his review of "Song of Songs," by Richard S. Hess, that Hess intentionally writes with his conservative audience in mind. "He assumes a context of married love for the Song, while recognizing that this is never made explicit: 'the erotic love of the couple does not lie outside the
Pros of Joining a Union • Employees are able to bargain as a united force with the employer rather than each person having to negotiate on their own behalf • Employers are force to respect and take seriously the voice and wants of the employees • Promotions and raises are done in the same manner for everyone based on tenure (typically) rather than based on what a certain manager feels or the bias
130). Although their white masters generally exposed them to Christianity, enslaved people adopted only parts of the white religion and mixed it with elements of their own beliefs. Even though the family was not generally a legally sanctioned unit on plantations, the basic roles of mothers, fathers, and grandparents in rearing children did exist.
