Issue: Classroom Sizes

Management Position:

WE need to increase the number of students in classrooms to maximum capacity: 30-50. Right now the lowest number in the class can't go below 10.It's been this way for years. WE want to adjust that to 30 or the class doesn't run (target point).

Explore the following questions to build your case:

Q1) Why would management want to insist on doing this? How will it benefit the college/students/other stakeholders?

Q2) What would the unions position be? What arguments would they have? Do management have a counter argument for it?

Q3) What would help managements argument for increasing the capacity of the classes?

Q4) What is our resistance point? Initial position?(management's)
