Need all questions answered in deatil

1. Because of the duty of fair representation, unions have an obligation to represent all workers fairly and thus unions are sometimes put in the awkward role of advocating on behalf of a poor performing worker—but this is their legal obligation. Do you think this is right? How do you think this makes exemplary workers feel? Do you think exceptions should be made if, for example, an employer has only met five of the seven tests of just cause?

2. In order to avoid costly court cases over alleged discrimination, harassment, or other employment law violations, some employers are requiring employees to agree in advance to waive their rights to court action and to instead arbitrate these claims. Do you think this is fair? Why or why not? If you were offered a job, but asked to sign such an agreement before being hired, would you? Why or why not?

3. With current employment law, do you believe an open door policy is an adequate grievance procedure? What are the advantages and disadvantages when compared to union contract grievance procedures?

Explanation / Answer

1. Duty of fair representation is meant to show equal consideration for all employees, but as we see these days most of the company have benchmark on the expectation of work from an employee and there are criterias to evaluate the deliverables of employee. The evaluation system should be transparent without any personal interest so that the exemplary works get benifit for their performance and dedicaton.

2. Why arbitrate:Many employees feel employess should be top priority rather than their profits.

Why not arbitrate: By doing so disputes may be less costly and settle in favor of the comapny policies.

If the agreement to be signed covers the interest of the employee as weel as the company i may sign the agreement. It should be a win- win situation to both employee and company.

3. An open door policy implies that when employees have a concern they should first approach their supervisor for an informal discussion and attempt at resolution, and if not satisfied, should write a formal complaint which their supervisor is obligated to take to the next level of management

Open door policy helps to bring the employee issue directly and it can help the company to know each individual intrest
