Officials with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees labor union filed papers with the state Public Employees Relations Board on Tuesday seeking certification as the collective-bargaining agent for Enid city workers.

A firm and its employees' labor union(s) often share a tense and adversarial relationship. From time to time, employees may decide that the bargaining advantages provided by their union no longer secures them the wages and benefits they seek, and they may seek to have the union decertified as their bargaining agent. This case examines this scenario, and demonstrates how a firm's management can legally express its views to its employees regarding the pros and cons of a union decertification. This case is an effective teaching tool for students in a labor relations course, a human resources course, and can also be used in the introductory management principles course.

Since late last year, newspaper editorialists, columnists and bloggers have torched UAW President Ron Gettelfinger for demanding that Congress pour taxpayer billions into General Motors and Chrysler without requiring as a condition for the bailout changes in the UAW's wasteful and costly work rules, which have played a major role in rendering the firms insolvent. The problem is nationwide, but is especially severe in states such as California, where K- 12 public school teachers are covered under "exclusive" union representation deals forcing union members and nonmembers alike to accept a union as their monopoly bargaining agent in matters concerning their pay, benefits and working conditions.
