Problem
Your job this week is to do web search of International Employee Relations in Germany. Are unions popular? Independent? Powerful? More concerned with social justice or economics? Are the unions large? Small? Do they coordinate activities with other unions? Domestically? Internationally? Are company-union negotiations generally amiable or contentious? If your company is in China, what considerations would be required, from an HR point-of-view, if you decided to open a subsidiary there in Germany? Based on your assessment of your research, indicate a "smiley-face" recommendation at the top of your Executive Summary, based on your findings.
