Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the company is an established one, it is likely to already have union policies in place. Reviewing those policies and deciding whether to show support or avoid unions can help maintain positive employee and labor relations, ultimately enhancing the company's competitive edge. Developing policies to protect employee interests and promoting exclusively from within can also foster good relations, but they may not specifically address unions. Decentralizing union policy formation may result in confusion and inconsistency across the company.
