Module 2: The Unionization Process and Negotiating the Collective Bargaining Agreement
Topics
1. Union Organizing and Election Campaigns
2. The Negotiations Process
3. Negotiating Economic and Administrative Issues
4. Resolving Negotiations Impasses
1. Union Organizing and Election Campaigns
The unionization process involves union organizing and election campaigns. The NLRB has adopted a step-by-step procedure for authorizing and conducting elections by employees on the question of union representation. Management and union officials, as well as employees, enjoy specific rights during these campaigns, but these rights have limits.
Typically the union organizer does not create the climate for unionization. Rather, it is a group of dissatisfied employees that creates a climate ripe for unions. The successful organizer can generate support for the union by capitalizing on this dissatisfaction. Unions use several tactics, including house calls, small group meetings, leafleting, and the formation of an employee-led organizing committee, to increase employee involvement and support. Unions are increasingly turning to the Internet and e-mail as additional means to recruit members.
For the union and its supporters, the ultimate goal is to achieve recognition or certification. Only when the union becomes formally recognized by the company or certified by the NLRB can it insist upon good-faith negotiations with the employer. Recognition/certification may occur in one of the following three ways:
1. secret ballot election conducted by the NLRB
2. an employer's voluntary recognition of the union when it finds that the union is acceptable and it is evident that support is widespread among employees (in which case no campaign is called for)
3. summary direction of the NLRB (supported by the Supreme Court in NLRB v. Gissel Packing Co.), where the board finds that a fair election is impossible because of the employer's grave and numerous unfair labor practices
Congress has charged the NLRB with determining which employees are within the bargaining unit. In making this determination, the NLRB evaluates whether the group the union is attempting to organize possesses a community of interest. Shared working conditions, shared supervision, and common personnel rules are all indicators that a group of employees shares a community of interest.
Other groups are excluded from union representation by law and may not be part of the bargaining unit. Supervisors and managers are among those who are prohibited from being in the bargaining unit. The same is true for confidential employees, who may fall into this category because of family ties to the business owner or because of the nature of their job responsibilities. As an example, human resources staff would generally qualify as confidential employees and thus be barred from union representation.
Voluntary recognition and summary NLRB direction are both very rare. The normal method is a secret ballot election conduct ...

In an organization, the managers and the executives are encountered with hundreds of situations where they need to make prudence decisions which are morally and ethically justifiable. In a company there are set rules, need for hierarchical sanctions, department pressures, the need for cost cutting and enchanting profit, maintaining the reputation of the company and considering the interests of all pressure groups and stakeholders. Though there is no fixed outline for making ethical decisions, there are some factors that would influence one’s decision can be understood. However, based on the different case studies, research findings, we can conceptualize a framework for understanding ethical decision making in business.

List of Bangladeshi Multinational Companies and their entry strategySouman Guha
A multinational corporation or worldwide enterprise is a corporate organization which owns or controls production of goods or services in at least one country other than its home country. A market entry strategy is the planned method of delivering goods or services to a new target market and distributing them there. When importing or exporting services, it refers to establishing and managing contracts in a foreign country.
Scope for Re engineering & Renovation: A Study on TeletalkSouman Guha
The people of Bangladesh are now dreaming of a digital Bangladesh. Faster development of telecommunications network coupled with improved quality of service in line with the national development is a must for the fulfillment of the vision and aspiration of digital Bangladesh and also to take her to a position of honor in the community of nations in the 21st century. Mobile phone operators have been playing an important role in this regard.
Teletalk Bangladesh Ltd started its commercial operation on 31 March 2005 with skyscraping expectation. The total share of Teletalk is owned by the “Government of the Peoples’ Republic of Bangladesh”.
Teletalk is the country's smallest operator having only a small market share. Inspiring high hopes in the beginning, Teletalk failed to compete with the five other operators due to poor quality of services and inappropriate marketing strategy.
Since 2005, Teletalk has come a long way. Other telecom brands such as Grameen, Banglalink, Robi are now currently dominating the market. Poor marketing strategy, corruption, poor network coverage etc has been a constant problem for Teletalk for quite some time now. It has become a nightmare for Teletalk subscribers to use Teletalk for these problems.
In this paper, we overviewed Teletalk’s position in the current market, analyzed their overall performance and tried to figure out ways to re-engineer this organization as a whole.
We made the proper usage of our Organizational Development knowledge and tried our best to suggest ways for Teletalk to improve.
Our questionnaire and survey method will give an idea about the clients of Teletalk. We believe, this paper will give Teletalk an idea about the expectations of the clients and hence provide assistance to design its product in future.
External threats to information system: Malicious software and computer crimesSouman Guha
Many organizations have become so dependent on computer-based and internet based intensive information systems that disruptions of either may cause outcomes ranging from inconvenience to catastrophe. Our reliance on information systems has redefined corporate risk. Management now recognizes that threats to continuing operations include technological issues seldom previously considered. Protecting the corporation's information system and data warrants management's attention. Management's concern with information systems security has changed over recent years. These threats may arise from internal and external sources. Viruses and computer crimes from external sources are two major concerns of management because management has to invest time and resources to face these issues and secure own information system from external sources. These attacks may result in slow network performance, non-availability of a particular website, inability to access any website and most importantly different types of financial fraudulent and forgery are being occurred in modern era. Securing information system, thus, becomes top notch priority of modern organization.
Objects and Elements of Contract With relevant Case References Souman Guha
People created code of conduct to live in peace and harmony, to maintain sustainability and persistence and to control human behavior inspired from social beliefs, religion, customs, rational thinking. These are “Laws” that encompass every aspect of social human being. Regarding business, the first thing that set the base from where all other issues are sprouted is Contract. Engaged in Contract, people start their dealings, their insurance policy, employment, engagement, and involvement in sale and buying procedure. Contract cannot be unadmitted from the omnipresent existence of Law. Since civilization, contract has been regulated performed of certain laws and the laws regarding a Contract in known as the Law of Contract which clearly defines the objective and elements required to call an agreement Contract. A contract is a voluntary arrangement between two or more parties that is enforceable by law as a binding legal agreement. Contract is a branch of the law of obligations in jurisdictions of the civil law tradition. Contract law concerns the rights and duties that arise from agreements. Bangladesh adopted The Contract Act of 1872. Based on English contract law and the British Indian contract law, it was enacted in the 19th century and re-enacted by the Parliament of Bangladesh after the country's independence which clearly defines the objects and elements of Contract. As the agreements are made on the decisions of parties to a contract, The Law of Contract has been an integral part of commercial system as commercial transactions starts from an agreement between two or more parties.
