693 Words3 Pages

Lockheed Martin Company Project Phase Two
Lockheed Martin is no stranger to unions. Its employees belong to multiple unions including, but not limited to, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAW), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), the Security, Police, and fire professionals of America (SPFPA), the Office and Professional Employees International Union. Preliminary research revealed that Lockheed experienced short-term strikes in 1984, 2000, 2003, and a 16 week strike in 2012 (Shalal-Esa).

Each product line consists of a very broad mix of products. Product lines center on shopping products, which are highly priced and used for a fairly long period of time. There are multiple purchasing methods used, however the majority of their purchases are made as a result of winning a contract bid. The bidding process allows government agencies to research features and compare pricing with competitors.

Benefits that they offer to attract new employees include health insurance, wellness programs, life and disability insurance, retirement savings plan, partial 401(k) match, paid time off for military obligations, sick and bereavement leave. They did offer an employee stock option plan at some point. I was unable to locate any details about it to determine if they are only offering it to existing employees, or if they are extending the benefit to new hires as well. They offer part-time positions as well as telecommuting

    Rachael Martinelli Case Study 8-2: The Outsourced Work 1. Is BE bound by the terms of the project labor agreement, which it did not directly sign, including the duty to submit this labor dispute to final and binding arbitration for resolution? I believe that Bolton Engineering (BE) should not always be bound to the terms of the project labor agreement, that they did not directly sign. Bolton Engineering should only be bound to these conditions if they are working onsite. They did not directly sign the with the labor union so they should only have to follow the labor union when they are working on the premises of Rocket Motor Corporation.

    The strike became one of the most influential events in the history of United States labor law.
