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.
