This elective quinmester course for grades 10, 11, and 12 on labor and management presents a historical analysis of public policy concerning business, trade unions, and collective bargaining. Focus is on the American labor movement, causes and effects of labor-management disputes, and public and private methods and agencies for dispute settlements. Students are given an opportunity to examine and make judgements on the historical development of labor unions in the United States and to analyze contemporary and future implications of labor management relations. The six major course topics are the role of labor and management; the background of unionism; three philosophies for labor organization; areas of conflict; arbitration-mediation; and the future role of unions. Similar to other quinmester courses, this course is arranged into a broad goals section, a content outline, objectives and learning activities, and a resource materials guide. (Author/KSM)
