You have recently joined an organization in an entry level HR position. The organization is now subject to union representation. You have been asked by your supervisor to write a brief memo for your HR colleagues that provides an overview of the expectations for managing human resources in a unionized environment. Your memo must address the following:

2. The rights of the union, management, and employees
3. The impacts of the union on human resource functions, including
   • Work restructuring
   • Performance Management
   • Employee Discipline and Job Security
   • Wages and Benefits
   • Health and Safety
4. Any costs the organization may expect based upon these impacts
