“The Impact of Diversity and Cultural Factors on the Harris Family: A Social Work Case Study”
THE JENNA HARRIS STORY
Jenna Harris is a 33-year-old Caucasian woman and a single mother of three children; a 16-year-old boy named Jimmy, a 10-year-old boy named Hector, and a 7-year-old girl name Kim. All of the children have different fathers, none of whom Jenna married. Jimmy’s father is Caucasian, Hector’s father is Mexican, and Kim’s father is Korean; Hector and Kim’s fathers are both immigrants. Jimmy loves his siblings, but they perceive that he is treated better than them because he is Caucasian. Jimmy is popular in school, enjoys playing on the football team, and works part-time after school at the supermarket. Jenna’s new boyfriend of six months, Sean, who is Caucasian, has recently moved in with her and the children into a two-bedroom house in a rural community in Sussex County. This has caused a conflict especially for Hector who is bright but has recently been demonstrating negative behaviors in school such as failing to follow directions, talking back to his teacher, and picking fights with his peers. In addition, his grades are beginning to slip. Kim, a quiet child, does not want to go to school because she is often teased on the bus and in school for being “Chinese.” Sometimes Hector gets in trouble for defending and protecting his sister from the teasing and taunting. None of the children have a good relationship with their fathers or their fathers’ families. And, while Hector’s father provides financial support, Kim and Jimmy’s father do not. This has provided economic hardship for Jenna who has had to move the family often to find affordable housing. She sees Sean as a hope for some financial stability since he has a good job as a plumber with a local company. Jenna dropped out of high school when she was pregnant with Hector but completed her GED a few years ago. She works at Wal-Mart as an Associate.

Analyzing the Process of Unionization and Collective Bargaining in an Organization Title: “Collective Bargaining Agreement: Terms and Conditions”
Competency
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:
Analyze the process of unionization and collective bargaining in an organization
Scenario
You are working as an HR analyst for a company that employs 400 employees and manufactures household items. The order fulfillment department has begun the process of campaigning to organize a union. This is a significant number of employees; they make up 40% of your company’s workforce.
As an HR professional, it is critical that you be familiar with the laws and regulations surrounding the process of unionization. You may be called upon to support supervisors, managers, or nonunion employees with questions during an active campaign. Human Resources acts as a valuable resource to an organization about what is and is not legally permitted during the union organizing process. Your organization’s failure to comply with laws and regulations during a union campaign can have a lasting impact and may result in monetary fines.
Directions
In the first section of this project refer to the following list of primary steps in a union campaign. While the entire process of a campaign has many more steps, these are the most crucial and the ones that are most prone to rule violations by either company management or the union:
Organizing Campaign: Employees and union representatives work together to gather employee support for a union.
Authorization: 30% of employees “sign” cards to authorize union representation and have an election.
Union Files for Election: Election is conducted by the National Labor Relations Board, and 50% of the employees vote for union representation.
Employees with Union Representation and Management Create a Contract: A collective bargaining agreement is negotiated.
To complete the first section of this project, create a table with these headings: Union Campaign Step, Prohibited Management Activity, and Prohibited Union Activity. For each listed step, you will document three activities that management are not permitted to enact during an official union campaign. You will also document two activities that the unions are not permitted to enact during the campaign.
In the second section of this project, refer to the Collective Bargaining Agreement excerpt provided in the Supporting Materials section. Consider the rights of management and the rights of the union. Describe benefits and drawbacks of the collective bargaining agreement for the employer. Complete your examination of the collective bargaining agreement by giving an example of a situation where there might be a conflict between management rights and the contract provision. Describe how you would advise management to resolve this situation.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
1. Campaign Steps Table
A. Management Prohibited Activities: Describe three management activities that would be considered prohibited at each stage of the campaign process.
B.Union Prohibited Activities: Describe two union activities that would be considered prohibited at each stage of the campaign process.
2. Common Provisions for Collective Bargaining
A .Benefits: Discuss at least four benefits of the collective bargaining agreement for the employer providing specific examples to support the claims.
B. Drawbacks: Discuss at least four drawbacks of the collective bargaining agreement for the employer providing specific examples to support the claims.
i. What items fall under the rights of management?
ii. What items fall under the rights of unions according to the NLRB?
C. Rights Conflicts: Describe an example situation where the rights of management may conflict with the collective bargaining agreement.
i. Consider the example in the Collective Bargaining Agreement excerpt in the Supporting Materials section.
ii. Discuss your advice to management on how to resolve the conflict.
Supporting Materials
The following resource(s) may help support your work on the project:
