What are the general wage concerns that management and employee representatives bring to the negotiating table?
What are the general wage concerns that management and employee representatives bring to the negotiating table? Why do workers try to negotiate wage employment guarantees? Supplemental unemployment benefits?PLEASE REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 125 WORDS or MORE)Some general wage concerns are pay equity and wage compensation, whereas the goal and understanding is that the bookkeeper does not expect to be paid the same as the company accountant and the vehicle operators dont expect to be paid the same as the manual laborers, etc., but when it comes to when the company decides to reclassify the positions as service providers, making dispatchers, coordinators, reception, etc all the same level, whereas they all used to be different pay levels or benefits is where is can be tricky and is a wage concern that has to be addressed by the management and employee representatives at the negotiating table. The workers try to negotiate wage employment guarantees and supplemental health benefits because like any employee, you want to make sure that if there is a health issue with yourself or family member you are protected, that you have the financial protection and the financial means for when you need to retire to be able to support yourself and your family by having pension plans set up or if something should happen that you become disabled or are unable to work any longer by having a good death and disability plan and mental health plans. Other big negotiation is employee services such as child care, that is something that has become so expensive and a lot of families have to really think about if its worth both parents working or not, if the union/employer can negotiate child care compensation.

Explain how observing social patterns could help your interactions in a group.
Part I Participant ObservationSociologists use research to collect information about society and apply their findings to everyday life to better understand the human condition. Sociologists can investigate people in their natural environments by becoming part of their everyday settings to observe and study participants.Imagine that you are a practicing sociologist who is researching the behavior of social groups in social settings.Conduct a participant observation in a setting where a group of people gather. Examples of places with groups include malls, grocery stores, libraries, restaurants, coffee shops, parks, schools, employee break rooms, parking lots, pubs, sporting events, or your local neighborhood.Station yourself in a safe location where you can observe participants for 60 minutes without having to approach or engage the public. You are just observing people, not interacting with them.Use the Field Study Observation Template to collect field notes on the following data about the individuals in your observation, as you perceive it:Gender/sexRace/ethnicityAge(Your numbers do not need to be exact, but try to make them as accurate as possible. You do not need to submit these notes with your assignmentthey are only for you to reference to guide your observation.)Part II Reflection ReportWrite a 525- to 700-word report about your observation. Include the following information:1) SettingDescribe the setting for your observation, including the location, time of day (morning, midday, afternoon, evening), and weather.2) Group DynamicsWhat patterns of group behavior did you observe that may have been influenced by the setting?What patterns of group behavior did you observe based on gender/sex?What patterns of group behavior did you observe based on race/ethnicity?What patterns of group behavior did you observe based on age?Which cultural norms did you observe among your participants? Explain your answer in several sentences using at least one example.What did you observe overall about the group dynamics of your participants? Explain your answer in several sentences using at least one example.What social or economic factors might have influenced the group dynamics you observed?
