-Analyze the labor movement in EITHER (a) Wisconsin, or (b) Minnesota. You can use any time frame you prefer. What characteristics best describe this labor movement? What makes it different from most of the rest of the nation during this time period? What were its chief successes? Failures? How does it compare to the ideas covered in this course?

-Women's groups have, on the whole, faced substantial difficulties in establishing and maintaining women's labor unions. One exception is the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA)/Airline Stewardess Association (ALSA). Why were they successful? What are their prospects for the future?

-Since the late 1950s people have been studying "risk" in a variety of situations. For example, social psychologists have conducted a great deal of research on the "risky shift" phenomenon. Janis discussed how political groups (e.g. presidential advisors) make risky decisions in his book Groupthink. Cognitive psychologists have examined how people evaluate alternatives and information to arrive at risky decisions. What does this eclectic field of research offer the labor-management negotiator (if anything)? Does it have any implications for managerial or union preparation for negotiation? Support your position with valid research.
