Question

Last spring，employees of the Hartville Corporation organized a weeklong strike to protest poor working conditions and unreasonable company policies．A committee was organized to investigate circumstances that led to the strike．Here is part of the report．
●Hartville's overtime pay is well below the national level，and overtime is obliged at least once a week．
●Employees working in the manufacturing department have an alarmingly high rate of repetitive （重复的） stress injury．The equipment they are working with is extremely old and dangerous and does not meet current health and safety standards．The committee recommended that equipment be evaluated and brought up-to-date immediately．
●Sick and personal day policies are unclear．Employees report conflicting and/or confusing policies relating to sick and personal days，which have resulted in numerous misunderstandings about procedures and allowances as well as unfair punishment action．
●In the past four years，five pregnant women with clean work records were dismissed soon after their pregnancies were public．In all five cases，the reasons for firing were not specifically clear，although one of the employees was told by her immediate supervisor that new mothers make very unreliable employees．
●Hartville's upper management is largely unaware of the dissatisfaction of employees．Evidence shows that middle management delays vital information leading to upper management's underestimation of the seriousness of employee dissatisfaction．
