You are an expatriate manager at a manufacturing facility in the Middle East on your first assignment abroad. You are aware of increasing concern among your employees about low wages that barely allow them to live at sustenance level. The plant is not unionized, and you know that your superiors in your home country are not particularly supportive of efforts to organize workers. You also know that if workers vote to form a union and then demand higher wages, corporate headquarters is likely to shut down the facility and shift production elsewhere. If the plant were to be shut down, you would be transferred and your employees would lose their jobs, going from making low wages to no wages. Should you encourage or discourage your workers in their efforts to unionize? Explain your decision. Lo1
