Document Summary

The challenge faced is to decide if sprint should cease the lcf operation before they are unionized or continue business in a unionized environment. If the employees are unionized they get better wages, more benefits such as healthcare, job security etc. If the lcf organization ceases to exist, they lose their livelihood. The management of lcf is responsible for influencing the people working under them to not form a union. They do so by threatening and pestering the people working under them. If they fail to do so, they risk losing their jobs if lcf closes. The management (board of directors and high level management) of sprint corp: they have a responsibility to turn a profit for the investors and ensure smooth functioning of the organization. They need to consider how their decision regarding lcf will affect the sprint long distance. Communication workers of america (cwa): they are a large telecommunications union.
