The Development of Labor Relations and Collective Bargaining in the United States
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing the development of labor relations and collective bargaining in the United States. Collective bargaining was made possible by progressive labor relation acts which were passed beginning in the 1930s. These acts allowed for employees to bargain with their employers in regards to work conditions, job security and discrimination issues without fear of persecution by the employer, previously unheard of. With the development of the National Labor Relations Act (1935), the Taft-Hartley Act (1947), and the Landrum-Griffin Act (1959), employees were given more and more legislated support in regards to negotiations and employee rights in addition to seeing a large increase in the number of labor unions formed. After a slight downturn in the economy in the 1970s, management and the federal government were interested in an increase in employee participation in increased production and ideas in order to compete on a national and global scale. The Collective Bargaining Forum was formed in 1984 to allow unions and management to formulate guidelines which would facilitate the collective bargaining processes for the betterment of the companies overall through cooperation between the two groups. Collective bargaining was well maintained for several decades before the recent development of more aggressive negotiations which have resulted in unions threatening strikes during negotiations while management has returned with threats of replacement workers and plant closings. Critics believe that in order to overcome another downturn in the economy and the loss of the momentum of competition, the cooperative spirit which founded the initial collective bargaining agreements must be rediscovered for the betterment of all concerned.

The Differential Strike Patterns of Korea and France
[ send me this paper ]
Sonn (1997) calls Korea a late bloomer in the area of labour strikes, so it is particularly interesting that Korea labour is beginning to join the capitalist based globalisation movement to adopt flexible modern strike models, when France, the originator of the revolution, the striking of labour against the central government for better working conditions and better pay has also only recently moved in this direction. Most countries, belatedly France and Korea, have modernized their outdated labour laws. Yet, Korea is just beginning to experience what France has practiced since the 1700s, the recognition of and cooperation inherent among a working class. Until the last decade, both North and South Korea had been corporatist. Therefore, their labour patterns are undergoing the biggest, and quickest changes in the modern world. 7 references. jvKorFra.rtf

The Impact of Globalization on Labor Unions: The Need for Globalized Labor Unions
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page discussion of the impacts of globalization on labor unions. Notes that as other countries advance technologically, there is a corresponding shift in union employment to further complicate the impacts to labor unions a variety of laws such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) supports multinational corporations with the elimination of excessive and taxes on exports. Consequently, U.S. unions are in danger of collapse as more and more businesses move to low income countries to take advantage of cheap labor. At the same time many of the workers in the third world countries to which big business is moving find themselves at the mercy of inadequate wages and working conditions. There are no unions to represent these people. Global unionization, the merger of unions across national borders, is the only solution to the impacts of globalization on the workplace.

The Importance Of First-Year Union Membership
[ send me this paper ]
19 pages in length. Union representation within the workforce is not as prominent as it once was; with a mere 13.5% of all 16.3 million American workers part of a union, the student might readily surmise that union affiliation – and the benefits that inherently accompany membership – is not being utilized to its fullest potential when it comes to the working population. Most prominent to whether or not union representation is beneficial for a particular trade or profession is the first-year membership; by immersing oneself into the multi-tiered union environment, workers are able to gain a significantly better understanding of just how instrumental union representation can be to future union involvement and membership satisfaction.

The Indian Government and Actions Against Child Labor
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing the Indian Government’s actions against child labor and other issues in relation to international pressure and trade. Within the last decade, international pressure has been placed upon developing countries to eliminate child labor. Depending upon the source, it has been reported that there are between 11 and 60 million children being exploited as underpaid labor in India. India, in response to international demand, has begun the “world’s largest child labor elimination program” which includes national and international funding, organizational development and educational programs in order to eliminate child labor and rehabilitate those children taken out of exploitative situations. While the steps taken by the Indian Government are positive in regards to the elimination of child labor, controversy still exists in regards to India, as a developing country, remaining competitive within the international market place which is considerably easier when child labor wages are in place over adult wages. Tutorial language is inserted throughout the text in square brackets for instructional purposes.
