Management at Sprint Corp. must decide what action to take with a small telemarketing operation that is about to vote on union representation. If employees vote in favor of a union, the operation would become the first business unit within Sprint Long Distance to be represented by a union. Closure of the plant is an option to be considered. This case illustrates some of the reasons employees seek union representation and requires that the student consider what implications such representation would have for the employer.
