Blooming Labor Dispute

Question 1

The union was not pleased that the children planted the flowers since they felt that it was embracing that the children could do a good and commendable work than the union’s employees would (Kearney & Mareschal 2014). It is therefore evident that the union would not have reacted the same if the flower planting project was undertaken by adults rather than children.

Question 2

Wage contract language in this case would be appropriate as the union employees will have a more workload that includes taking care of the already planted flowers.

Question 3

This would not be important since the workload in the park is more and thus laying off some of the unit members would mean more workload to the few workers. this would have resulted to overloading of the available but few workers thus resulting to poor delivery of services and thus the park would be in a bad state.

Question 4

The union - citizens’ relationship was however weak as the president clearly outlines that this society was suffering from poor communication (Kearney & Mareschal 2014). There is also lack of unity within the society as it is brought about by poor relationship between the union and the citizens. This has brought down the community spirit of oneness.

 

Question 5

Being the president of the union I would have been more neutral while handling the case as I would have made sure that credit is given due to the rightful party. I should have recognized the good work done by children and I would have encouraged my employees to take the issue positively as it would encourage unity across all ages within the society.
