Identify and explain the legal requirements involved in union organizing

This is a two-part assignment where you are expected to address Parts 1 and 2 in one well-developed short report. In the report (consider using a memo format), identify and explain the legal requirements involved in union organizing, within the context of the organization where you work or an organization with which you are familiar.

Part 1:

There are a number of federal agencies charged with oversight of labor law in the United States. The importance of these agencies to the area of labor law cannot be overestimated. In the first part of your report—from the standpoint of a union organizer at the organization you selected—identify the federal agencies, and then explain what each does and how they apply to the labor relations process.

If the organization does not currently have a union, discuss Part 1 from the perspective of an HR director. Identify the federal agencies, and then explain what each does and how they would impact the labor relations process at the organization if it does decide to unionize.

Part 2:

There are several significant pieces of federal legislation that require study because of their impact on organizations today. Among these are the:

• Railway Labor Act
• Norris-LaGuardia Act
• Wagner and Taft Hartley Acts (as amended)
• Landrum-Griffin Act
• Civil Service Reform Act, Title VII

In light of your response to the first part of this assignment, critically evaluate each piece of federal legislation in a few sentences. Then briefly discuss why they are important to the labor process at the organization you selected, and include insights the organization can still glean from the legislation.

Your paper should be four to six double-spaced pages in length (not including title or reference pages), , adhere to APA requirements, and include a minimum of three credible sources (which can include the course readings)

What type of officer do you feel would have the greatest opportunity to make a positive impact on an offender?

The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion. At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Friday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Friday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation. The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit. 

Describe the various roles that probation/parole officers can take on including probation/parole officer roles as agency models, agents of rehabilitation, broker/advocate agents, and probation/parole officers as law enforcement agents.

If you were to go into probation/parole, which role would you want to fill? 

You will be graded on the quality of your postings. Make sure your first post is 4-6 paragraphs. For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.

Reading about Net Present Value (NPV) for this module

Module 3 Discussions

NPV in Your Own Life

Reading about Net Present Value (NPV) for this module, you probably thought of it as a technique used only by corporations. But the technique may also apply to your own purchases.

You may have heard a salesperson tell you, “This product pays for itself!” While this is probably rare for most products, sometimes there are future savings from certain products that will offset some of the costs. For example, if you buy a newer, more reliable, and more fuel-efficient car, it may save you on repair bills and gas prices compared with your old car. If you are a coffee connoisseur, buying a $100 espresso machine might save you money compared with constantly buying $4 drinks at your local Starbucks.

Think of a purchase you are planning to make or have recently made. How much did it cost? How much per year do you think you will save from this purchase, and for how many years will you get these savings? Estimate the present value of the savings, and subtract the cost of the product. Note that it is rare that any purchase will “pay for itself” (e.g., have a positive NPV). But are the savings enough that the product becomes a lot “cheaper” and more worthwhile for you to buy?
