1. How would you characterize the type of conflict that exists between GM and the UAW using the various conflict handling interventions discussed in the course?

2. What type of power does the UAW hold over GM? How has this power influenced its ability to negotiate with GM?

3. Although benefits such a "guaranteed wage" likely are appealing to workers, how might such benefits affect employee motivation? How might they affect job satisfaction and organizational commitment? Could this be a case where management engages in the "folly of rewarding A while hoping for B?"
