Somalia Workers Conflict
Not what you're looking for?
My assignment is as follows - Critically assess the events reported in the New York Times article titled, "A Somali Influx Unsettles Latino Meatpackers." Compose a report of at least 1500 words evaluating the stress among Muslim and non-Muslim workers as management tried to effectively handle the issues of religious expression. Based on your findings, document where and how management's actions went wrong, exacerbating workers to the point of hostility. Also, explain what management should have done to prevent this resentful organizational culture and the culminating violence. Support your position with credible academic sources properly cited in APA format.
I'm looking for around 400 words or so of ways that management could better resolve the tension and ideas on how to manage the different cultures. Also, please add some insight on the critical assessment of the decisions that were made. I'll be happy to up the credits if the word count is doubled or more. 700-800 words 3 credits and 4 for 1000-1200. Thanks!
