Question: You are a non-union employee of a large hotel chain in Chicago, earning $15/hour, in a position you have held for several years. Some nearby hotels--though not all--have unionized employees, who are generally paid at least slightly more than employees of your hotel. Your individual expenses-rent, transportation, food, etc.-are high. There is little chance that you will be given a pay raise within the next year of more than $1/hour, and you cannot be guaranteed any pay raises after that. You purchase health insurance through your employer, but monthly premiums (that is, your contributions to your health insurance coverage) are rising every year at a significant rate. Should you support a collective bargaining effort at your hotel? Offer a 5 to 7-minute-long presentation (going a little beyond 7 minutes is okay) explaining why or why not.
In your presentation, consider the following:
What, if any, risks (especially to you) might be associated with a collective bargaining effort?
Are there requirements that must be satisfied before a collective bargaining effort can be undertaken?
What are the potential benefits and downsides of unionizing?
By whom will you be represented in contract negotiations, should your effort be successful?
You are required to use PowerPoint (or a similar application, such as Google Slides) in order to assist you in making your arguments.
