Reflection Paper
1. Discuss the history of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). Based on what you learned last week as well as in chapter three, what factors (e.g., political, industrial, social, economic) contributed to the passage of the law? Why was it passed when it was rather than, say, 20 years earlier?
2. Explain how each of the important labor-employment relations laws (Wagner Act, Taft-Hartley, Landrum-Griffin) affect the relationship of employer and employee.
3. Are the current labor laws (see above) capable of dealing with labor management problems today (in the private and public sectors) or should they be abolished? If abolished what should their replacements address or if not abolished, what changes should be made.
Please be sure to consult the grading rubric.
Below are some guidelines that you are expected to follow to ensure that you get full credit for your work. Please review them carefully!
- Papers should be approximately 3-5 pages in length. All answers should be thorough and well-thought out. Remember, this is a graduate-level course and you will be graded accordingly.
- Papers should show knowledge of the material and demonstrate the ability to synthesize the theory (not just repeat it back.).
-Papers should be in 12 pt. (Arial, times Roman) and doubled space with one-inch margins.
- Answers should be written in APA format. Use headings and subheadings (in APA format) to delineate questions and part of questions. Do not repeat the questions or number them.
-Papers will also be graded on grammar, spelling, and appropriate APA formatting (headings, subheadings, paragraphs, page numbers, etc.). These are formal papers and should be written as such. Do not use contractions (isn't, can't) and write out single-digit numbers (six, rather than
6). Proofread your work carefully!
- Proofread your paper prior to the due date because as we all know things happen. If something happens and you miss the deadline the assignment will be open for an additional 24 hours. However, please be aware that if you submit your paper during this extended time you will be docked 10 points. This is only for the emergencies. So, do not procrastinate!!
- Please review the rubric attached to this module before submitting the assignment, as this will be used as the grading guideline.
