The value of negotiation in labor management relations is such that both parties bargain in good faith and are able to come to agreement on all mandatory collective bargaining items. It is important to understand details of this process to avoid an impasse. A strike or lockout might occur if there is an impasse. An impasse can have costly consequences for the union, management, and consumers.

With your fellow classmates, discuss the following:

• What is good faith bargaining? 
• What items are mandatory and illegal in the collective bargaining process? 
• If labor and management come to an impasse over employee benefits and a strike occurs, what strategies would you recommend to break the impasse? Provide an example using a real-life case.

Please review the following 3 examples and write 4-5 lines for each Discussion.

Example 1:

 CEOs are directly responsible for steering the course for their companys corporate social responsibility and sustainability strategies. As with most decisions things that are decided at the top and trickle down throughout the organization. The same can be said for a companys culture. If a CEO is passionate about issues they can steer the entire organization to care about those issues through training and prioritization.

Sustainability reporting provides extremely useful information to stakeholders giving them an inside look into the course the CEO is charting for the company. It offers stakeholders a chance to evaluate the efforts the company is currently undertaking and to communicate their feedback as well as changes theyd like to see.

Its extremely difficult to promote sustainability efforts within an organization if the CEO is opposed. There could be some sub-cultures within the organization or stakeholders that desire specific changes but depending on the amount of power they wield they will have varying degrees of success that will most likely be short lived. I believe the only way to have lasting sustainability efforts adopted within an organization is to have buy in from the CEO and senior leadership.

I believe the larger the organization is the smaller the impact the CEO will have on the sustainability efforts. If the company is split into many large groups the key leaders in charge of those groups can have considerable sway over the course that group will take. A good CEO should build a senior leadership team that has diversity of thought but also people that buy into the companys culture and permeate it down to the individual contributors.

Example 2:

The role of the CEO is vital to sustainability efforts and reporting. The CEO is the leader of the business/organization and should be transparent about what the company would like to accomplish in regard to sustainability goals. The CEO should be having meeting with stakeholders and shareholders to communicate where the business is compared to the goals that were set and comparing to other businesses along with providing reports. There is a lot of useful information in sustainability reports and from what I have read, yes, there is insight into the CEOs strategic decisions. Any company want to make money but when discussing sustainability along with making money, the decisions around what to do for society and the economy for the long term to continue to make money and meet goals all tie together. I believe it is possible to promote sustainability in any organization if the CEO is opposed but it will only go so far and last for so long. Experience show that in order for sustainability to be successfully mainstreamed into a business, employees, the CEO and other stakeholders must be fully engaged. (Weybrecht, Ch. 5) People all around can support but when leadership is not participating and making it a priority it will never last. The individual at the top of the organization has a tremendous influence over how an organization operates. A consistent message from the top, CEO, would help push change across the company. (Webrecht, Ch. 13) The CEO does not have to be the one to start and create the sustainability efforts. Just because an employee is not titled as a leader, they could be a leader on the efforts of sustainability practices. To be successful longterm the company needs the buy in from stakeholders and ultimately the CEO.Many times, the culture of a company is created not by those at the top but rather is created from the bottom up. (Weybrecht, Ch. 13) I believe the larger the organization the more difficult it is to start the sustainability efforts and even maintain them. Being transparent and communicating is a huge factor and when you look at global companies sharing the same message across the world versus a smaller company in just one state takes on a lot more work. No matter what size of company though, if the CEO makes it a priority it can be successful. The United Nations Global Compact has sutainability goals set for 2030 and currently things are not making as much progress as people expected. CEOs acknowledge the problem; they believe there is real opportunity to embrace the Global Goals. (Trapp, 2019) This shows that CEOs are not currently investing the efforts needed to meet the goals and need to make it a bigger priority.

Example 3:

The role of sustainability and reporting efforts, directly rely on the CEO. They are in charge of making sure that the company is committed to being a globalcorporate citizen, relationships with key stakeholders are fundamental to the company’s success, and the leadership rests with the CEOs, chairmen, and the board directors. The CEOs are in charge of making sure that he company is always doing the right thing and following all of the laws put into place to protect both the workers and the environment. When the CEO receives information about how well/ poorly the company is doing in the aspect of environment, labor conditions, wages, or ethics and does nothing to help or promote better conditions, then the CEO should be held responsible for their actions. They are the voice of the company, if they are not on board for what their stakeholders want is right it is not a good combination. They are in the driver’s seat for the business and they choose the path in which way the company goes. 

It will be very difficult for the CEO to remain head of the business if their values and the values of the business do not align. They are essentially the spokesperson for the company. When people see the CEO, they should see the values that they company holds in them. If that is not present, then there is a very large disconnect and it will be very hard for the CEO and the company to work together. CEOs need to make sure that they walk the talk by sending clear and consistent messages and doing this by their own actions. I believe that CEOs of bigger corporations have a bigger burden to bare then the ones of smaller ones. This is because in big corporations, everyone will know what the business is and what their goal or practices are. However, if it was just a regional or even statewide business it would be a difficult time making it a national issue. Where the big corporations are in many states, the smaller ones might just be in one or two states. This means that they cannot get their message and image across like the bigger corporations.

Few Examples how to write Comments:

Example 1:

 I completely agree that CEOs have a major role in an organizations sustainability and culture. As you mentioned if a CEO is against sustainability initiatives, employees will not go out of their way to try and implement sustainable practices. The only way to have lasting change within a company is for the CEO and Senior Leadership Team to believe in the change and for them to consistently communicate it down through the organization. I like how you mentioned that CEOs can either be reprimanded or congratulated according to results of the sustainability reports that are put out. If they set goals and arent meeting them and there is enough stakeholder pushback, then they will absolutely have to answer to that. Whether they meet the goals or not, the stakeholders and even competitors can gain valuable insights through their sustainability report. 

Example 2 for Comments:

You made some excellent observations, and I particularly liked the examples that you laid out. I completely agree that nothing gets done within an organization without the support of its CEO. If there isnt buy in at the top on issues, then they stand very little chance of being acted upon.

I personally dont believe that if a CEO was to enact a policy that some would consider morally wrong that it invalidates all the other good that they do or makes them hypocritical. If a CEO were to lean more into automation it comes with many positives. It can reduce job risk hazards, allow low level employees a chance to learn a new role within the company, employee more skilled labor, and make the company more profitable. The morally correct thing to do is in the eye of the beholder. Its obviously morally wrong if you ask a person that may be laid off but its morally right for a more skilled person that may get hired to oversee the automation or a shareholder. If companies dont innovate while their competitors do, they stand a greater chance of everyone at the company being unemployed rather than just a fraction of their staff.
