Choose a union that you are personally familiar with or one that you can research. From the information available to you, can you see evidence that supports a theory or theories presented in this chapter? You can look at the reasons for the origin of the union, the functions the union currently serves, its future plans, its relationship with employers, or any other area that you think is relevant. Explain how the theories you have chosen are illustrated or explained by the information you have collected. Also identify where or how the theories do not address or explain your information, and suggest why these apparent discrepancies might exist.
