Answer 1

SGA’s Strategy in Campaigning against the Union.

During their management of the representation campaign, SGAs displayed a clear and determined strategy. President White led the anti-union campaign, and they had teamed up with the support of an Atlanta law firm that specialized in anti-union campaigns. One of the main pillars of this strategy was that the firm sought partnerships and assistance from other powerful institutions in the community to hinder union organizing and membership. As stated explicitly in the case study. The SGA's anti-union approach includes extensive contacts with the community, corporate, and religious leaders to sway workers' attitudes about the union. On corporate time, workers were obliged to watch anti-union films. President White and Philips wrote to workers' homes, emphasizing the importance of teamwork not only to keep the union out but also to combat the threat posed by hosiery imports." Unions are not ideal, and the firm leaders wanted to highlight the flaws in forming a union and how unions can create inherent polarizing conflict between management and employees.

Theory to explain SGA’s position 

Theory of obstetrics: With its focus on incidence measures, the fetuses at risk method gives a coherent understanding of prenatal events (Lakkas, 2019). It also gives a theoretical foundation for medically needed early birth and bridges the gap between obstetric theory and practice, so the SGA opposes unionization.

 

Conclusively, because unions simultaneously improve union workers' wages while depressing the wages of non-union workers due to the spillover effect, non-union workers cannot represent SGA workers to replace the role of unions.
