Answer to Question 1

A lockout occurs when an organization denies unionized workers access to their jobs during an impasse. A lockout, in some cases, is the company's predecessor to hiring replacement workers. In others, it's the company officials' effort to protect their facilities and machinery and other employees at the work site. In either case, the strategy is the same. Both sides are attempting to apply economic pressure on their opponent in an effort to sway negotiations in their direction.

Answer to Question 2

The response to this question should go back to the model for developing training and address the TNA, design, development, implementation, and evaluation phases for an orientation.

The TNA should include three inputs: organizational analysis, operational analysis, and person analysis. The second phase, design, should incorporate the training needs identified in the TNA, and the organizational constraints, as well as choose a training method based on adult learning theory. The third phase, development, will produce the instructional materials to be used in the training, as well as identify the facility and the equipment needed. The fourth phase is implementation and should include both a dry run and a pilot training. The last stage is evaluation and should include both process and content measures. Recall that evaluation measures are developed during the development phase of training.
