Basic concept overview

Public policy and impact

Things to watch for
Treating industrial work and organization as a list of terms
Connect each term to the course question, evidence, and an example.
Ignoring the audience or context in unions and labor philosophy
State who is affected, what decision is being made, and what constraints matter.
Leaving public policy and impact until the end
Use staged practice and revision so the final work reflects feedback and course goals.
