Case Study $4\mathrm{.}1$ Whose Union Is It$?$ Kearney Simon looked down at the stack of petitions on his desk. Union members were reacting with their signatures to rumors they had heard regarding the layoff of $500$ workers among five large bargaining units totaling $2500$ members. They were calling for the ouster of the current union president and all union stewards. A membership survey $($see Table $4\mathrm{.}2),$ conducted by union leaders to determine the preferred bargaining path for the union, had produced results that the union leadership did not concur with. Out of five possible scenarios, the largest majority of respondents had indicated that Scenario $4$ was preferred, yet the union was negotiating for Scenario $5.$Simon, a union steward for Bargaining Unit #$4(500$ members$)$ in the state Department of Transportation $($DOT$)$ for $15$ years, was not accustomed to feeling uneasy with the posture of the union he represented.
