I appreciate it he gave me an A on the discussion questionoh by the way I was in the labor group so the employee opinion.4-2 Final Project Milestone One: Short Paper: Collective Bargaining—Employee Safety Instructions Students should reflect on the Discussion Topic from Module Three and their experiences with the negotiating process. Include the following details in yourOL 318 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric Overview: In task 3-1, students will participate in a group discussion to simulate negotiating an actual collective bargaining agreement. The purpose of this discussion topic is for students to have the opportunity to role-play an actual negotiation session with the goal of developing a collective bargaining agreement. The specific topic to be negotiated is related to employee safety. In this topic, the instructor will divide students into two groups. One group will represent management and the other group will represent labor. Note: The groups will be switched in Module Five for a similar activity to give students a chance to represent each side. The instructor has provided a rough framework of a collective bargaining agreement in the resources section for Module Three that provides some level of detail on how the agreement is currently worded. This will serve as the starting point for your negotiations. Students are expected to research the topic and determine the best way to craft the language in the agreement to favor their position. The students should use the Discussion Topic as a negotiating platform and create a dialogue with the opposing side to come to an agreement on the specific language required in the agreement. If both sides cannot agree by the end of the module, the instructor will act in the role of mediator/arbitrator and will decide on the final language, which all parties must accept. In this event, the instructor will post the final agreement/document in the topic by midnight on Tuesday of the following module. In task 4-2, students will be required to provide the following as the deliverable:  A copy of the agreed-upon collective bargaining agreement section on employee safety (posted in the Discussion Topic)  A one-page personal account of the negotiating process. This account needs to include: o A summary of the key challenges or points of friction.o An analysis of the strength of the other positions—were their positions weak and not well supported, or just the opposite? o A short review of interest-based bargaining and distributive bargaining methods and a summary of which one works best in this situation. o Reflect on the role of the instructor as a mediator or arbitrator. Was it helpful to have someone in this role or did it create additional challenges? o A conclusion about the outcome—did it favor one side or the other? The short paper milestone will be submitted in Module Four. Feedback should be applied to the follow-on milestone and the final project. Requirements of submission: Written components of projects must follow these formatting guidelines when applicable: double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and discipline-appropriate citationsFor use in Task 3-1, Discussion Topic: Collective Bargaining – Employee Safety, in preparation for Final Project Milestone One.The following Collective Bargaining Agreement Example is provided as a starting point for the development of a more detailed section that would eliminate confusion and conflict surrounding the specific issues of employee protective clothing, equipment, and tools.From the standpoint of management:Employees are asking for new steel-toed boots every few months and appear to be taking advantage of the agreement.All of the employees want cold-weather gear even though some really do not perform many outside functions in the winter.From the standpoint of the union:Sometimes the boots and gear get wet when working outside and a second pair is often needed but never provided.Employees are asked to do work with gear that is inadequate and worn out.There are growing concerns about the safety of employees in frigid working conditions with inadequate cold-weather gear.Questions that need to be answered in the discussion forum:Should there be a set amount/limit that management will pay for new boots, jackets, and cold-weather gear?Should employees be allowed to pick out their own style of boots and gear?Is there only one source/vendor that all employees must use, or can they pick and choose?How should management handle gear that is worn out—should employees be able to keep it or does it go back to management?Can employees take the gear home with them, or should they change at the shop prior to the work shift?SECTION 25.05: PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, EQUIPMENT, TOOLSThe Employer agrees to provide to employees any required tools and safety or protective equipment, reasonably fitted safety clothing, and devices necessary to provide protection of employees from hazardous conditions to include inclement weather encountered during the performance of official duties. Such equipment will be provided as authorized by applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. The Union agrees to assist the Employer in aggressively publicizing the benefits of the use of protective devices and equipmentI am with management providing us with new boots, to be on a balanced side, we should receive two pair of boots every year, cold weather boots and warm weather boots, only if they follow the work condition and the OSHA safety rules. That is one way for management to understand that lowering on the gear budget will not allow employees to follow all OSHA rules and still be productive. To give them that choice, we will not be the ones to blame or to be worried about paying the difference unless we wish to do so.Employees should be allowed to pick out their own style of boots, yet it may be best to bargain this deal collectively where it is the employees’ choice unless employees choose to give that responsibility to their employers. Some reasons may include the fact that it can be challenging to find great boots in the market with one’s size.Employees can purchase gears from anywhere unless they choose to use a vendor that works with the employer to ensure that all requirements are met.Employees should have a choice to either keep their gear that is worn out or give it back to employer for charity or recycling purposeIt is best for employees to take their gear with them to ensure several things from being able to come to work in a clean condition, whether it is a jacket or boots, to make sure time is not wasted while coming to work and to be able to avoid management from providing extra room for both male and female to change.3-1 Discussion: Collective Bargaining—Employee SafetyThe purpose of this topic is for you to have the opportunity to role-play an actual negotiation session with the goal of developing a collective bargaining agreement. The specific topic to be negotiated is related to employee safety.In this topic, the instructor will divide the class into two teams. One team will represent management and the other will represent labor.Note: The groups will be switched in Module Five for a similar activity to give students a chance to represent each side.First, watch the accompanying video to get each side’s perspective on the issue.Your instructor has provided a rough framework of a collective bargaining agreement in the resources section for this module that provides some detail on the issue and how the agreement is currently worded. This will serve as the starting point for your negotiations. After watching the video, each team should immediately research the topic and use the discussion topic to collaboratively craft the language in the agreement to favor their position. This initial language must be posted by Thursday of this week at the latest. Then, teams should begin using the discussion topic as a negotiating platform and role-play a dialogue with the opposing side in order to come to an agreement on the specific language required in the agreement. The object is to rewrite the agreement with wording that addresses the issue in a way that each side is satisfied with the gains and concessions. The collective agreement is a legal contract and should be written with language that reflects that style document.If both sides cannot come to agreement by the end of this module, the instructor will act in the role of mediator/arbitrator and will decide on the final language, which all parties are required to accept. In this event, the instructor will post the final agreement/document in the topic by midnight on Tuesday of the following module. This final agreement will be used in Milestone One, due in next week’s module.
