Management vs Labor

In today's class we will be taking apart the responsibilities and definitions of Labor and Management. We're completing a double bubble chart that compares and contrasts the two sides. New words like "Blue Collar and White Collar" are heard in the news all the time and its important the students recognize the differences.

As an extra treat I am showing an episode of the Simpsons' which deals with the topic of Labor and Management. It's funny and entertaining, but truly covers a lot of the concepts we've been learning about such as Colletive Bargaining, contracts, benefits, blacklisting, striking, picketing, and other woprkplace related topics!

Note: Friday test is changed to a Quiz.... I will hand out a review sheet in class tomorrow.
