Question.1043 - For your final paper, you will pick out a current labor-related issue and outline both its importance in light of the readings we are doing in this course, as well as policies that would might improve the situation. Your paper will need to include the following elements:* First, you must reference at least six readings from this course and relate your issue to those readings in the course or your essay. You should highlight how the workplace issue you are writing about either illustrates the analysis from each reading cited or where it may challenge the argument made in those readings.* You should bring in additional analysis from at least five outside sources about the issue. At least two of those sources should be peer-reviewed academic journal articles while others can be magazine, newspaper or other popular sources to describe the importance of the issue you are discussing.* Finally, you should outline public policy changes that could address the problems you identify and describe how the policies you describe would improve the situation. You can identify your own issue, but here is a short list of suggested topics: * The unionization effort at Starbucks * Labor conflict at Amazon * Uber drivers and labor rights in the "gig" economy * "Me too" movement and sexual harassment (you can look at Hollywood or Fox News or any other prominent examples) * Work requirements imposed on public welfare programs such at the Family Tax Credit or Medicaid * Conflict over work visas for immigrant agricultural workers * Trade deals with Mexico * The current actors/writers strike in Hollywood * State policy battles over paid family leave for new parents * UAW efforts to organize non-union plants in the South * Race discrimination lawsuits at Tesla There are other topics you can choose and your assignment for this week is to pick a topic and identify at least three initial news or other sources related to the topic, as well as at least two readings from the course so far that relate to the topic. I will have a drop box in the Week-to-Week for you to write a sentence or two about the topic you plan to write about (from the list above or your own topic) and where you can list the three outside sources and the two course readings that you can identify by the end of the week. I will give you feedback if you are off-track but otherwise you should plan to submit the full paper at the end of the fifth week of the course. The paper should be five to seven pages (1400-1700 words), not including cover page and bibliography. Nathan
