Collective farming

My biggest fear as a future leader is not managing budget or meeting project deadlines, rather it’s how to evaluate, improve, and maintain employee morale. During my Management 150 course there were six words that will forever stay imbedded in my mind, “Managers direct people, Leaders motivate people.” A Gallup study has reported, only thirty percent of U.S. employees are engaged at work, and as low as thirteen percent worldwide. Gallup defines “engaged” employees as those who are involved in,…

The “collective unconscious” from Jung’s viewpoint means that the unconscious includes resources that are physically real prior to their individual appropriation and are inherent abilities in the mental structure of all individuals. Jung believed that religion is the possibility of interaction with this collective unconscious and how it opens “the depths of the human soul, often with an intelligence and purposefulness…

for other companies, even other industries. This significantly impacted many morally responsible employers who were undeserving of the aftermath that results from a strike, namely financial. In addition to ethically questionable tactics during collective bargaining with employers, there was a growing concern among the population regarding the manner in which unions treated their current and prospective members. In the period following the Wagner Act, critics contend that non-union members were…

Labor unions can use a variety of different ways in which to challenge the issues related to racism, sexual-orientation, and women’s rights through the strategies of diversity and self-organizing. Diversity is a crucial factor in allowing women, gays, lesbians, and racial minorities find a common cause and achieve solidarity and political unity. In this manner, it is important to understand the awareness of diversity as a way to achieve a larger coalition of labor union activists that can rely…

I believe Washburn values diversity in many ways. There are many different kinds of people on campus and Washburn is just really friendly in general. Throughout campus, there are many people of different religion, culture, background, etc. Most won’t know this about others unless they take the time to meet somebody new or even meet them in a club here on campus. The most important part of the diversity statement to me is that they honor people of all kinds. They aren’t going to discriminate on…

If I worked for the B&O Railroad as a brakeman in 1877, I would have no other choice but to go on strike. The job is a risky one that puts me in danger every day. There was a pay cut 3 years ago that took its toll on all the workers. Adding another 10% reduction in salary, topped with working fewer days in the week, there is no way that a family can be supported properly. This is a job that keeps me away from my family and is incredibly dangerous. I deserve to be paid well enough to support my…

development of two-tier plans. In Canada Post’s case, the collective agreements between urban and rural postal carriers. From the management’s perspective, tiers can be used to control costs for expansion or economic survival. Canada Post had negotiated an agreement with the CUPW’s rural division based on quantity of mail distributed. In their opinion rural distribution would not be as economically viable without changes between the urban and rural collective agreements. The CUPW believes the…

THESIS Before the Ludlow Massacre on April 20, 1914, miners in Colorado were experiencing working in harsh conditions and low pay. The conflict between the Colorado miners and the Colorado National Guard and Colorado Fuel and Iron Corporation was an ongoing dispute about the miners wanting higher pay and better living and working conditions. A non-compromise was reached when the miners stopped striking and the militiamen got what they wanted. As a result of the Ludlow Massacre, the miners…

The Great Railroad Strike started on July 17, 1877 in Martinsburg, West Virginia. Employers cut pay for workers because of the debt the country was in from fighting in the Civil War. Many workers did not support this. Railroad companies stopped working and started striking. Workers stopped all trains and blocked any traffic from coming to the stations. Federal troops were called in to stop the strike, but they were unsuccessful. The strike spread to Baltimore, Maryland. This went from peaceful…
