Industrial organizations (AFL-CIO)

Correct Answer: Implementing coordinated organizing campaigns tailored to different industries.

The AFL-CIO employs a strategy of implementing coordinated organizing campaigns tailored to different industries to increase union membership across diverse sectors. This approach allows them to address the unique needs and challenges of each industry, making their efforts more effective and relevant. The other options are less comprehensive or targeted: providing standardized training programs does not account for industry-specific differences; establishing exclusive partnerships with manufacturing industries limits their scope to a single sector; and offering financial incentives to corporations may not directly lead to increased union membership across various sectors.

Correct Answer: A national federation of unions that coordinates collective bargaining and advocates for workers' rights.

The primary role of the AFL-CIO is to serve as a national federation of unions that coordinates collective bargaining and advocates for workers' rights. It does not function as a government agency responsible for enforcing labor laws, nor is it a single labor union representing only industrial workers. Additionally, it is not an international organization overseeing global labor standards.

Correct Answer: Initiate a meeting with union representatives to discuss the policy changes and collaborate on adjustments that address their concerns.

The most appropriate action is to initiate a meeting with union representatives to discuss the policy changes and collaborate on adjustments that address their concerns. This approach demonstrates a commitment to open communication and partnership, which are essential for maintaining positive labor relations. By involving the union in the decision-making process, the HR manager can address any issues proactively and ensure that the policy aligns with both organizational goals and employee needs. Proceeding with the policy implementation without consultation may exacerbate tensions and lead to mistrust. Enforcing the policy as planned disregards the union's role and could result in conflict. Conducting an internal review without involving the union overlooks the importance of their input and may fail to address the underlying concerns of the union members.
