Graded Project
Overview
Once you complete Lesson 4, you’ll have learned about labor unions and the challenges they face going into the twenty-first century. You’ll write a
research paper discussing how the Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA) earned its success as a union organization. Using what you’ve
learned, you’ll need to explain what this association has done to organize successfully. Include details about the challenges it currently faces and
how they relate to the challenges of labor unions in the United States generally. Based on what you learned, you’ll also need to recommend
strategies to help this organization improve.
Instructions
Prepare a research paper on the success and challenges of the ALPA. Include supporting research.
In detail, describe at least four ways ALPA has been successful in organizing and at least four challenges it has faced.
Discuss how these challenges relate to the challenges of labor unions in the United States.
Recommend at least four strategies to help ALPA improve.
Your project must be written in APA format and submitted as a Word document (.docx or .doc file format). You must include at least four valid
references. Write a research paper of at least 1,000 words discussing the success, challenges, and recommended strategies of the ALPA.
Summary
The ALPA was founded in 1931 and represents more than 63,000 pilots from 35 US and Canadian airlines. This makes it the largest pilot union in
the world. ALPA’s mission statement touts its commitment to collective bargaining and to representing all pilots in commercial aviation, and it has
been deemed successful at doing so.
As you learned in Lesson 4, all labor unions face challenges as the world continues to change. This project requires you to use what you’ve learned
about union organization to discuss what the ALPA has done to organize successfully. You’ll also discuss the challenges it currently faces and how
they relate to the challenges of labor unions in the United States.
Goal
In approximately 1,000 words or more, use labor relations concepts to explain how the ALPA has benefited pilots and the airlines they work for,
including challenges they currently face and strategies to improve.
