PLANNING COMMITTEE

Order Description
Read the case study and respond to the questions posed at the end of the case study.

Case: Locating the New Recreational Vehicle Plant
GMFC is planning to expand its U.S. operations by building a new plant. It will employ about 500 production workers. This new plant will manufacture motorized
recreational equipment including all-terrain vehicles, personal watercraft, and snowmobiles. The equipment will assemble mechanical components produced in other GMFC
operations or purchased from suppliers. The new plant will fabricate fiberglass body parts and complete the final assembly process.

GMFC would like to operate the new plant union-free. It’s likely that the United Automobile Workers (UAW), and perhaps other internationals, will attempt to organize
the workforce within a year after start-up.

Based on the case study, you are a member of a planning committee for the new plant. Your primary area of responsibility involves issues related to potential
unionization and labor costs. What advice would you provide to the company on size, location, staffing, wages and benefits, and other employee relations issues that
would help GMFC keep the new plant union-free and competitive?
