LST Midterm Exam Question 1 Sec A Fibreboard Case This war is between owners/mangers and unionized workers over unfair laborer practices. Plant closings and partial terminations of businesses have become increasingly visible areas of conflict betweenworkers and corporations, as corporations have moved more operations overseas, or sharply curtailed activity in the severe recession that began in the early 1980’s(2006;137). Owners are still on the winning side of National Laborer Act because businesses owners are able to move jobs oversees without negotiating new contracts with unionized workers or able to shut down business being penalized by the law. Stewart states “If, as I think clear, the purpose of Sections 8(d) is to describe a limited area subject to the duty of collective bargaining, those management decisions which are fundamental to the basic direction of a cooperate enterprise or which impinge indirectly upon employment should be excluded from that area…” meaning this should have nothing to do with the job security; this is just a way for workers to hold the owners /managers to the precedent of their contracts. Modern Businesses Slave Business Owner 1. Slave Owner Manager 2. Manager Worker 3. Slave Workers Sub Worker 4. Sub Slave Workers Workers being the One Shotters will continue to lose the war on the over the collective bargaining act because there is no guarantee in job security which benefits the business owners(Repeat Players).(2006;82 ) The business owner will continue have the upper hand over the Collective Bargaining Act because of its broad interpretation. These laws will someday change because the way they are set up, business owners are able to practice what is unfair labor in our eyes fairly with no consequences. I believe that if this is not taken care of soon, this law may cause riots between union workers and business owners. This is huge problem in America that needs to be addressed. LST Midterm Exam...
