QUESTION

Which key issue in collective bargaining disputes is affected by computerization of jobs, automation, moving companies to nonunion states, sending work offshore, downsizing companies, and deregulation?

A) employee benefits
B) work rules, hours, and safety
C) union security and management rights
D) job security
E) compensation

ANSWER

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Job security: we need to preserve jobs, not just raise wages. In recent times, established unions have probably been more active in trying to protect jobs than in trying to raise wages. This was brought about by computerization of jobs, automation, moving companies to nonunion states, sending work offshore, downsizing companies, and deregulation.
