This week’s lesson discussed the ways in which unions begin initial organizing and campaigning efforts in a new work environment. Consider and comment on the following questions:
1. Unions ultimately rely on popular vote in order to legitimize their presence in a workplace, and this is obviously largely determined by the degree of employee dissatisfaction at such a time. However, how do other variables such as organization size, location, industry/occupation, workplace dynamics, etc. affect the likelihood of successful union establishment? Explain your answer.

Are there ever situations in which the employer would or should welcome the presence of a union? When and why?Instructions: Your initial post should be at least 250 words.
