Question 1: Many non-professional jobs in healthcare are often hard to fill, pay low wages, and experience a lot of turnover. Would a union help or hinder the retention of employees in a situation as described above? Explain.
Question 2: When do you believe an employer might have just cause to disciple an employee? What would be appropriate discipline for the said examples?
Question 3: One of the first acts of the new Congress will be to propose the "Employee Free Choice Act." Does this Act, taking away the secret ballot election process for union organizing, deprive employees of their democratic rights? Take a position, pro or con, and explain your position.
Question 4: Employees still resist unions almost 60 years after the passage of the National Labor Relations Act. Why do you believe this to be the case?
