Scenario-Based Questions You Have Successfully Managed One of the Plants

Multiple Choice

Scenario-Based Questions You have successfully managed one of the plants of your company over a period of 5 years. You built a climate of openness and trust in your plant and have a longstanding history of honesty, dialogue, and teamwork. Based on your record of success, you have just been transferred to a much larger but less successful plant. This plant has a history of union-management conflict and the last plant manager had to be hospitalized due to stress.
-The union has informed you that it wants to have official representation on your strategy committee. Your response is:

A) correctly point out that this committee does not deal with contract issues and therefore there is no place for the union.
B) politely decline because union representation would only add to the already high level of conflict.
C) ignore the request altogether because it is totally inappropriate.
D) welcome the request because representation will help with power equalization and dialogue.
