One of the most difficult areas for employers to manage is ensuring that all work performed is reported and off-the-clock work is eliminated. Consider your own employment history. Were there times you felt you did not receive the pay you felt you were entitled? Perhaps you did work outside your job description, performed work off the clock, or felt you were not paid commensurate with your skill level or your coworkers’ pay. Did or could you have taken any steps to address the issue? Share your thoughts on the experience. Was there anything different you feel the employer could or should have done?

Why do you think workers want unions in the first place, and why do employers resist them so staunchly?
