MGT 450 Labor Relations

3 credit hours

This course aims to develop mutually beneficial relationships in private and public sector workplaces from a management perspective. Students survey U.S. labor history and current trends, and worldwide labor economics, union governance, and legal-regulatory environments. Through cases, projects and simulations, they develop knowledge of and abilities to apply management’s rights, duties and responsibilities in union organizing; collective bargaining; worker participation and contract administration, including grievances and arbitration. Students gain a deeper understanding of both worker and management views, explore Catholic social teaching on employment relations, while developing conflict management, negotiating and creative problem solving skills. This course serves as a management validator. Note: Course offering cycles apply to the Adrian campus only.
