1)There are many reasons and conditions that result in employees supporting the formation of a union.

Briefly discuss the following statement, It is not the union that organizes employees, it is management . Do you agree? Why or why not?

What is the basis of this somewhat tongue in cheek statement? Consider organizational cultures and management philosophies that would or would not result in employees wanting to unionize. Share a relevant observation about your own organizational environment or one with which you are familiar.
