You have been hired by XYZ as a consultant

You have been hired by XYZ as a consultant. They are currently facing a union organizing campaign. You have been asked to write a briefing memo for senior management. Your memo must address:

a) What are the basic differences, from the employer's viewpoint, in operating in a union-free environment vs. a unionized environment?

b) What are management representatives permitted to say and do during the campaign? What, if any, actions or statements are prohibited?

In responding, you must use three references. They should be from a scholarly journal or credible news source from within the past three years.
