Purpose of the assignment: to act as a culminating experience for the labor law portion of the class through the application of multiple labor law principles to fact patterns, both included in the movie and hypothetical.Analysis of Selected Scenes from Norma Rae1.Distribution of union flyers – distinguish between distribution on and off company property. (Focus on the property issue and discuss solicitation in general in question 4.)2.For the distribution of union flyers, explain if it would have made a difference if the cotton mill had been located in a remote location with the workers living on site.3.Promotion of “troublemaker” to supervisor – what difference would it make if Norma Rae was a supervisor?4.Bulletin board – does the company have to allow union flyers?5.Solicitation during nonworking hours – distinguish between employee and non-employee union workers and when can they solicit for the union (Only discuss the solicitation question here – discuss the property issue in question 1.) Give specific examples of when Norma and Reuben could and could not solicit during the workday and during after-hours/weekends.6.Questioning an employee without union representation – explain the significance of being questioned without representation and if it matters if the employee is a member of a union. Note the different approaches the NLRB has taken on this subject.7.Termination for union activity – explain why it is an employer unfair labor practice. What test could be applied if the mill also had a valid reason for firing Norma?8.Work stoppage – if the stoppage had lasted, would it have been legal? (Identify the type of strike that it would have been, as well as which category of strike it would fall under.)9.Voting for/against union representation – what procedures were illustrated in the movie? Include discussion of what would be required to hold an election.10.Analyze the appropriateness of each of the following hypothetical situations:a.in the month leading up to the election, the managers of the cotton mill approached each worker individually, asking if he/she was more loyal to the mill or to the union b.the day before the election, the managers held a meeting during which they pointed out how the mill would have the freedom to give raises and provide more sick days if they didn’t have to bargain with the unionc.on the day of the election, the mill had a mandatory meeting to explain why the mill might have to close if the union was voted inApply all applicable information in the labor law reading and class material to explain the scenes and answer the questions listed above. Remember to make the basis for your answers a legal one, and not a factual one. Ex. Explain which section of the NLRA may have been violated or which test or rule the NLRB might apply. Then apply the facts to that rule.

In UPMC's Solicitation and Distribution Strategy, "off duty" was defined as "any time frame in which a staff member also isn't assigned to work," and "non-working time" was defined as "time throughout a workday whenever a staff member is on duty and is therefore not anticipated to be able to perform work tasks (i.e., food periods or did break)." The policy made it illegal to solicit during working hours anyplace in the hospital, as well as in patient-care sections at any time. "Off-duty members of staff may well not join or re-enter the inside of their work spaces or other work spaces inside of their place of work clinic for any intent (such as invitation or distribution) other than to visit sick people, seek medical attention, or for other reasons that are accessible to the general public," according to the policy (Logan, 2019).

Companies had no alternative but to provide houses when none existed prior in such remote regions. A superintendent's home, a cluster of single-family homes, a frame church, a tiny school, and a company store were all part of a typical hamlet. These facilities were necessary for recruiting workers and running the mills' operations, but manufacturers also regarded them as a way to exert control over their workforce. In 1910, US Bureau of Labor investigators found that "all the business of the hamlet and the living conditions of all the residents" appeared to be "controlled by the mill corporation." In practise, the firm owns and controls everything.

Firms frequently plan one-on-one meetings between employees and their supervisors, as well as mandated gatherings of the entire workforce, during working hours, to convey their opinion that unionisation is not in the employees' or the firm's best interests. If employees fail to attend these sessions, they may be reprimanded or fired. Employers frequently threaten that unionisation will result in job loss, despite the fact that this is illegal under federal law (Greenlees, 2020).
