What is the role of the local or union?

Research a Unionized Group (4%)

This is the second of six journal entries you will write in this course. You will self-select four of your entries for submission and grading to your Open Learning Faculty Member. Each submitted journal entry is worth 4% of your final grade.

For this journal entry you will research a unionized group (preferably from your community). You will find unionized workplaces are schools and universities, city hall, mining and pulp and paper.

As you conduct your web-based research consider the following:

1. What is the role of the local or union?

2. Can you find a listing of the shop stewards?

3. When is the next union meetings?

4. Is the union part of a larger group?

5. What do you envision to be some of the challenges experienced by the local?

6. Keep your entry between 350 words.
