The organization of unions is the result of management's actions and not the union itself. While union representatives may recruit members to join the union, unions form to protect workers from the actions of management. Unions are led by workers and help protect the shared interests of the workers (Greene, 2023). They can help improve working conditions, set limits on working hours, and help employees receive fair pay (Greene, 2023). Employees would not feel the need to join a union or help organize a union if the employer already offered decent working conditions. Fighting an employer alone can seem like a tremendous job and even discourage an employee from speaking out against any wrongdoing. In the early days of the workforce, employee discipline was extremely harsh, with discipline involving physical assault or public humiliation (Holley et al., 2017). This created a certain level of fear in employees throughout the years. However, when an…arrow_forwardAndrew Carnegie at one point was the wealthiest man in American with the intent of giving away his millions. Carnegie used some hard-nosed tactics to earn that money. He underpaid workers, although he believed he was paying a good wage, and hired replacement workers when his workforce went on strike, which essentially broke the union. Carnegie also did not invest in safety procedures to protect his workers, which exposed them to potential injury or death. Andrew Carnegie, however, was not worse than others. Most, if not all, capitalists followed the same set of policies. Discuss this issue. How should we view Andrew Carnegie and his philanthropy? Should we criticize him for how he made his money, or does how he spent his money supersede those concerns? Among many causes, Carnegie spent millions building libraries across the country and funded a retirement fund for teachers to invest in their futures. Every generation can face this question. Today, we look at Bill Gates of…arrow_forward
