In this week's readings, various tactics were identified that labor unions use to gain employer recognition. Using these stated tactics as a starting point, I would like you to identify not only the current application of these tactics but also what other plans / strategies can be used to further labors' requirements. Please do not confine your comments to just one union.

• What union strengths are important in today's environment?
• Research the National Labor Relations Board.Identify several steps taken by the Board in the last five years to strengthen a union to easily organize workers.
• As a result of these decisions by the NLRB, does management become stronger / weaker in challenging organizing attempts by a union?
