Exercise 2

Case: GMFC Attitude Survey
GFMC is a member of the Heritage Group, a consortium of employers with personnel research departments that participate in employment studies and share information. All members agreed this year to administer the same attitude surveys to their employees and relate the measures to variables such as turnover and productivity. To gain union cooperation in Central City, GMFC agreed to share the results of the survey and the broader study with Local 384. In return, Local 384 urged members to complete the surveys they received.
When comparative information became available, the results shown in the table were sent to Central City.
If you were a union or management representative, what would you make of the results? What impact might this have on the potential for negotiations in the next round of contract talks?
