Rachael Martinelli Case Study 8-2: The Outsourced Work 1. Is BE bound by the terms of the project labor agreement, which it did not directly sign, including the duty to submit this labor dispute to final and binding arbitration for resolution? I believe that Bolton Engineering (BE) should not always be bound to the terms of the project labor agreement, that they did not directly sign. Bolton Engineering should only be bound to these conditions if they are working onsite. They did not directly sign the with the labor union so they should only have to follow the labor union when they are working on the premises of Rocket Motor Corporation. Also, there may be no written agreement between Bolton Engineering and Rocket Motor Corporation that states that they must follow the project labor agreement. There was only a pledge to do so, and possibly the person to pledged didn 't have the power to do that …show more content…

2. Was the project labor agreement meant to apply only to work preformed on the job site as BE contends, or could the terms of the project labor agreement also be applied off-site work as the union contends? The project labor agreement was not written out anywhere through out the case study, so it hard to confirm where the work was meant to be done. However I believe that the project labor agreement was meant to apply to only work preformed on onsite because I believe that the only place they wanted work to take place. 3. Is it legitimate for a labor organization to negotiate a work preservation clause that seeks to encourage contractors to perform work on the job site using union labor by imposing an economic incentive not to outsource the work elsewhere to lower paid

In this case we have an ethical issue since the air traffickers of PATCO in 1970s want to go on strike. However, due the fact that they are employees for the U.S federal government at that time in the 1900s it is illegal for unions whom work for the federal government to go on strike. During the 70s PATCO still went on ahead to strike up against the (FAA) which stands for the Federal Aviation Administration which the PATCO strikers worked for. The PATCO workers went on strike over many things that would be fair to fight for as any other unions would being wages along with working conditions. Once the PATCO negotiators agreed on a contract that if it were to be approved by congress would give workers great pay raises, increased severance pay, an enhanced voice in operating, also a voice in safety in making policy.

Braydon Kriegel Professor Champion KW Composition 3/1/23 Localized Manufacturing: A Step in the Right Direction “From 2000 to 2009, America bled nearly six million manufacturing jobs, or a third of its industrial workforce, as companies shifted production overseas.” Jesse Walker, through the medium of her piece “Outsource Locally”, explains the severe damage that the workforce has taken from the globalization of manufacturing. Even today, big corporations are outsourcing their labor and manufacturing to other parts of the world. Localized manufacturing is the idea that retailers can produce their product in their local area, rather than outsourcing labor to other areas of the world. This is a growing problem in society, and it’s reflected in

IV.The Political Ramifications of Governmental Corruption and Financial neglect of Union Agreements Finally, the political ramifications of the Neo-Liberal BC government define the veneer of democratic involvement in order to help union truck drivers. The hostility of the BC government to the UNIFOR strike is an important example of the near totality of a corporate influence government that has very little tolerance for workers rights and union demands during the 2014 strike. In response to the initial strike, the BC government sought to utilize a “Back-To Work” law that would have forced the striking UNIFOR drivers to begin moving storage containers throughout the port. This Neo-Liberal agenda defines the pro-corporate view of unions as

In addition, another great problem America should deal with is poverty. In the U.S. it is claimed that people can seek into getting help financially; nevertheless, their help isn’t stopping the number of people living in poverty from increasing.
