According to Beer et al (1984), human resources management (HRM) has developed as a way to serve workers’ interests, albeit internally within the workplace. This challenges the role of worker advocacy. Historically, workers’ interests have been served by external representatives from labor unions, and have also been protected through government interventions such as laws and regulations. The purpose of this assignment is to understand the roles of unions and the role of HRM, and examine whether workers have adequate support and protections in the modern workplace.
Explain how unions, human resources management personnel, and government interventions (such as laws and regulations) serve to address worker rights and worker safety.
Evaluate whether unions and HRM have unique roles for different groups (i.e., the organization, management, and the workers) or if there are areas of overlap.
Assess the following statement, “Workers in the modern workplaces of America are well protected and well supported.” Explain whether you agree or disagree with this statement, based on what you now know about government interventions, unions, HRM, and worker advocacy. Be sure to support your agreement or disagreement with statements of reasoning from your analysis.
The paper must be four to five double spaced pages in length (excluding the title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least three scholarly sources to support your claims. Cite your sources in text and on the reference page
1. The Artist’s Palette recognizes that students may purchase supplies at the beginning of the term to cover all of their art class needs. Because this could represent a fairly substantial outlay, the Artist’s Palette offers discounts to those students who pay sooner than required. Assume that if students buy more than $250 of art supplies in one visit, they may put it on a student account with terms of 2/10, n/30. If a student purchases $250 of supplies on September 16, what amount is due by September 26? How much would the student save by paying early?
2. Assume that if students buy more than $250 of art supplies in one visit, they may put the charge on a student account with terms of 2/10 EOM. If a student makes the purchase on September 16, on what day does the 2% discount expire? If the purchase is made on September 26, on what day does the 2% discount expire? If you were an art student, which method would you prefer: 2/10, n/30, or 2/10 EOM?

1. Identify the Client
The client can be your own work group or organization, a family business you are involved with, a business you worked for previously, a volunteer organization you work or have worked with, or a public or private company. The client you choose should be a small group or organization where you, as a consultant, can influence change. Please do not select “the military” or “the U.S. government” or “Giant XYZ Corporation.”
2. Identify the Problem
With your knowledge of the client you have identified and the learning you have acquired to this point, identify a management problem you will investigate and for which you will provide recommended solutions. Only write a paper to identify the problem; do NOT try to solve it. This eight week course is based on a systematic process to use strategy to solve the problem you choose, so DON’T get ahead of yourself.
If you are working with a supervisor or manager, you may want to consult with them to complete this step. Some questions you can explore to help you are:
What are the mission, vision, values, and goals of the company/division/workgroup?
In considering the mission, vision, values, and goals, where does progress halt?
Is there data to substantiate this or is it a perception of you and/or the manager?
Who is involved: the manager, the employees, and/or stakeholders?
How long has this problem existed?
What and how are expectations and requirements communicated?
When expectations or key deadlines are missed, what happens?
What factors contribute to the problem (politics, structure, decision making factors, etc.)?
Are technical skills or training contributing to the problem?
Are there ethical issues relating to the problem?
If so, how have those issues been handled to date?
These questions do not all need to be answered, nor is this list all inclusive; they are provided to help you get started and inspire your own questions to explore while completing this assignment.

3. Conduct Needs Assessment
Now that you have identified a client and the management problem you will investigate, you will conduct a needs assessment. When conducting a needs assessment, you first identify the “what is” relating to the problem you have chosen to address and contrast that to “what should be.”
Some questions you can explore to help you are:
What is the problem?
How does the desired performance relate to the mission statement?
Is the problem organization wide or isolated to one or a few individuals?
Have organizational initiatives created the problem?
Does the problem relate to individual performance issues?
Is training adequate to support the desired outcome?
Is the issue related to job design?
What criteria is used to measure performance?
Is performance criteria appropriate, i.e. attainable and measurable?
