Case Study 3-1
Chapter 3: Legal Influences
Part 1: Recognizing Rights and Responsibilities of Unions and Management

The Employer is a small, non-union furniture manufacturer with 15 employees engaged in interstate commerce. Both of the employees involved in this case worked in the machine shop buidling as band-saw operators. Because the band saws were located near the shop's large overhead door, to facilitate the disposal of sawdust, the band-saw operators were often subject to lower temperatures and drafts on cool or cold days, whereas other employees further from the overhead door often felt too warm. To resolve this long standing problem, the plant manager established a rule that stated: "The overhead door will remain open when the temperature in the shop exceeds 68 degrees and closed when the termperature is at or below 68 degrees."

Please refer to the attached document for the rest of the case.
