The company has multiple locations in the United States and plants in China and France. People are complaining about the working conditions and wages. A group of your fellow workers are talking about the need to fight back. There seems to be a willingness to organize. You have decided to seek the help of a Union. Write the following information in proposal format. Remember to follow APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center and to cite at least three scholarly sources in addition to the course text.

Note: Be sure to check that your Turnitin Similarity Index does not exceed 10% (excluding reference page).

The grade for your research paper makes up 30% of your final grade. It is not possible to do poorly on your final paper and get an A or B in this class. Make sure your writing is clear and to the point. You must use APA format. You cannot just have a works cited list, you must cite within your paper where the information came from. Double check your grammar—the sentence subject and verb must agree—you cannot have a singular subject with a plural verb, and vice versa. For example: WRONG: The student work hard. CORRECT: The student works hard. “The student” is singular—one student. “Work” is a plural verb. “Works” is a singular verb.
