Assignment Help Operation Management

Reference no: EM131775656

Imagine yourself on your first assignment abroad as a manager at a manufacturing facility in Asia. Your are aware of increasing concern among your employees (mostly young women) about wages that barely permit them to live at subsistence level. The plant is not unionized, and you know that your superiors in your home country are not particularly supportive to efforts to organize workers. You also know that if workers vote to form a union and then demand higher wages, headquarters is likely to shift production to a lower- wage country. The plant could possibly be shut down, your employees could lose their jobs, and you yourself could be transferred. Should you encourage or discourage your workers in their efforts to unionize? Why? Is there a way that you can help the workers yet not hurt your firm? Please elaborate.
