Web-Based Questions
- Web-Based Question: Union membership-falling
or rising? Go to the Bureau of Labor Statistics website, www.bls.gov,
select Data and Frequently Requested Series for historical data on work stoppages
(strikes). What has been the trend concerning the number of strikes involving
more than 1000 workers over the past 20 years? Use the search feature at the
BLS site to update the text’s data on union membership. For the latest year,
determine (a) the overall unionization rate for wage and salary workers,
(b) the unionization rates for men and women wage and salary workers,
and (c) the unionization rates for black, white, and Hispanic wage
and salary workers. Have the unionization rates gone up, down, or stayed constant
compared to the data reported in this chapter?
- Web-Based Question: The EEOC-what is it
and what does it do? Go to the website of the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC), at www.eeoc.gov, to determine its role in enforcing
the antidiscrimination laws. What specific laws does it enforce? List five
of its most recent actions.
