In what ways are traditional union models under pressure to change in the 21st century and what are some of the changes taking place?
What will be an ideal response?
With the increase in foreign and nonunion competition, unions in the U.S. have been under a great deal of pressure to change their organizing and representation models. Management has been trying to renegotiate contracts that will reduce the rigidity of job control unionism so as to allow greater flexibility and better product quality control. At the same time, the union movement has internal critics who claim that the servicing model has led to an apathetic workforce and that much more member involvement is needed for a healthy labor movement. Consequently, many unions are moving away from the servicing model and toward an organizing model in which the union's primary purpose is to help workers organize and advocate for themselves.
