Union Awareness
by Skillsoft
According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2004, 12.5 percent of wage and salary workers were union members--down from 12.9 percent in 2003. Why is membership declining? Perhaps the growing number of laws in place to protect workers prevents the necessity of unions, or perhaps the nature of the work itself has changed. Regardless of the decline, workers still have the legal right to form unions, and you need a basic understanding of workers' rights, and what rights you have as an employer. It's important to understand why employees form unions, and how best to deal with them in your workplace.

by Skillsoft
This course is intended to teach learners how to exercise sound judgment in the hiring and interviewing process.
