At the inception of unions, its members consisted of “blue-collar” workers concentrated in the manufacturing sector. Today, only about 35% of union members remain in this sector, requiring unions to expand beyond manufacturing to broaden their membership ranks.In a two to three page paper to submit to your instructor, detail the following in relation to the changing landscape of unions:• Discuss how union membership has evolved over the past century.• Evaluate how unions have modified their philosophy to accommodate this shifting landscape.• Propose two (2) reforms unions should consider to broaden their appeal to a workplace environment that is becoming less dependent on the manufacturing sector and in which companies can more easily shift operations overseas to take advantage of lower wage rates.The submission must adhere to APA 6th edition style guidelines.From the instructor not following this rule cost me a failing grade. Please be aware of another point; even if you properly credit everything with proper in-text citations and a good reference list, you can still run into problems. When I ask for support in a paper, I am not asking you to give me a ton of quotes or truckloads of paraphrased materials. What I want to see is your work — your critical thinking and analysis — supported by research. As a rule, there should never be more than 10-15% of source material in any paper. Using more than that falls into a practice that we in the academic world refer to as “quote dumping”.”
