Scenario:

You are a new human resource manager and you met with managers from all the other departments. During your onboarding conversations with the managers, they gave you a list of practices they would like to change. They have tasked you with communicating the changes to the employees and to make the appropriate policy updates. You know that you cannot make some of these changes without conferring with the union.

The Five changes I have selected are:

1. Management wants to change represented police officers' schedules from a 10-hour day to a 12-hour day.

2. Management wants to open on Saturdays. Previously they have been closed. Management wants to force 25% of employees to work on Saturday.

3. Management wants to decrease the tuition assistance benefits because sales are low. Some employees are unionized; others are not represented.

4. Management wants to implement additional background check measures.

5. Management wants to change the current COVID-19 safety protocols.

 

Requires a Meeting: Explain which of the selected managers' requested changes will require a meeting with the union and why. Be sure to address unrepresented employees.

Steps: Describe the steps that Human Resources must take to implement each selected change.
