For this discussion review the differences and similarities in compensation and pay models for non-union vs. union workers. Provided for you are example statistics of differences that are normally seen between union and nonunion compensation. Please utilize these readings and videos but feel free to do additional research on your own when answering these questions:
- In general, what do you believe is the main difference between basic pay models for union workplaces and non-union workplaces?
- After looking at the pay models discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the two compensation models.
- How does newer legislation (Supreme Court’s union-dues ruling) impact states without right-to-work laws?
Discussion assignments consist of two parts: (I) an initial response to the topic, (II) responses/interactions (2+) with your peers.
