Why would graduate students want to join a union? Being a student is not easy – as a rule, the range of responsibilities for a person enrolling into college increase a few notches, making the process of studying too complicated. Not only do students have to learn new material quicker, practice new academic skills and attend a number of new classes, but also to dress and feed themselves. Consequently, students have to both study and work part-time, the latter being the key reason for creating student unions. Unless student unions existed, it would be impossible to make sure that students’ rights as the part-time workers are not infringed. According to York, a number of unfair labor practices may occur when it comes to hiring students part-time. These practices may include “threatening the employees with loss of jobs or benefits” (York 280), and other methods of unfair treatment of part-time employees. Hence the need for students to have support arises. More to the point, graduate students need to be prepared for the complexities that they will most likely face when graduating from college and starting to look for a full-time job. Because of a lack in experience regarding manager–employee relationships, having little to no idea of their rights and being afraid of losing a job, a graduate student faces the threat of being treated unfairly by the company. However, once a graduate student joins a union, (s)he will receive the required support, and the chances for the student to be cheated on by a company will be reduced to zero. What can the organization do to overcome resistance from the truckers to the use of RFID tags? There is no secret that in the XXI century, technology changed people’s lives greatly However, not all of these changes are welcomed warmly by employees. The so-called “Radio Frequency Identification cards” (York 304), or RFID, have been welcomed with open arms by entrepreneurs and producing companies, yet have obviously raised a few eyebrows among buyers and the people employed in transportation services, particularly truckers. While the idea of every single movement of a truck being recorded does seem somewhat unsettling, the RFID technology is clearly superior, which means that truckers have to be encouraged to use RFID cards. Convincing truckers to put the latest technology to practice can be carried out successfully by mentioning the benefits that truckers will get by using the cards. For example, the ability to locate the truck fast in case of an emergency and send the rescue team to assist can be used as a major argument in proving the usefulness of the RFID technology. Another legitimate argument in favor of the Radio Frequency Identification, the development of long-read range RFID cards should be mentioned to truckers. Indeed, at present, the time spent on identification process and the related documents verification is very tiresome and time consuming for truckers. With OCR information implanted into RFID cards and the corresponding devices installed on the road, it will be possible to check the trucker’s ID without even making the trucker pull over. Providing these arguments to truckers will help convince them about the usefulness of RFID cards. Works Cited York,
