Develop a research plan for a trade union that will enable the union to understand more about aspects of its membership. The plan should include the following:

1. how the union should go about researching possibilities for membership growth

2. how to go about identifying the current economic circumstances of membership

3. How the union can go about identifying membership attitudes towards the union and politics

Please make sure the research plan includes the Introduction/motivation, a brief discussion on the need for research on broader factors impacting employment in your industry/sector, and what research methods will be used.
