Emphasis is on the differing views of unions and management, and how these views may be dealt with and reconciled, and on consideration of public policy relating to the collective bargaining relationship. A schedule of due dates can be found on the instructor's homepage. Class contribution is more than simply participating in class discussions. The following examples demonstrate the level of contribution needed to earn points for this requirement. Grades for written assignments will be based on both content and form.
Form includes appearance and organization of thoughts.
The individual assignments must be typed, double-spaced , legible, proofread, and professional in appearance. For example, you may choose to conduct a phone interview with a labor lawyer in Chicago or a human resource manager in Detroit. Guidelines for conducting interviews are available on the instructor's homepage. In addition to the report summarizing the interview, you will need to submit a type-written thank you letter addressed to the person you interviewed, an extra copy of your paper if you promised your interviewee a copy, and an addressed, stamped envelope. I will mail these to your interviewees along with a letter of thanks from me.
