You have two choices for this written assignment; you only need to address one. Topic 1: The cost of healthcare has been a controversial subject for quite some time, both to businesses and employees. Choose a state and research and compare its minimum wage requirements (Links to an external site.) to the cost of healthcare (Links to an external site.). Make sure you read the article about healthcare costs (Links to an external site.). Do you believe the state wages are in line with the state’s cost of health care? Why or why not? What suggestions can you make to management when it comes to negotiating with unions about health care? Why do you believe your suggestions would work for both the union and management? What would, if anything, mandating paid FMLA (Links to an external site.) do to costs to both employees and employers? Topic 2: Read M.L.B. and Players’ Union Set to Begin Early Labor Talks (Links to an external site.), and research compensation for baseball players. Do you believe they deserve what they make? Why or why not? Is it right for a veteran player to receive less than a younger player? Put yourself in a manager’s position and discuss what you would do to negotiate for less pay for veteran players. Why do you think your tactic would work? Would you take the same position if you were negotiating from the union side? Why or why not? What are some of the benefits baseball players receive? What do you believe the outcome will be for both sides, union and management? Your paper should be at least two (2) double-spaced pages, not counting the cover and reference pages, and written in APA format. Use Times New Roman size 12 font and one-inch margins all around. Include in-text citations and at least two scholarly sources. If you are unfamiliar with APA formatting and the correct way to cite in-text references and/or list references on a reference page, please refer to OWL at Purdue (Links to an external site.), the writing center at your local campus, or Tutor.com (there is a link to this service under the course menu). Make sure you follow the rubric below to obtain the most possible points. Avoid unreliable sources, such as blogs or Wikipedia. Blogs are merely opinions and/or thoughts and Wikipedia is not reliable as it can be changed by anyone. Using either of these is the same as not including references.
I do not care which topic that you choose
