David Bitner, a manager in Fresh Market Café, whose title is a retail operations manager of University of Oregon. They have 165 employees all together including 42 classified staff members that are full time employees represented by the SEIU Union (Service Employees International Union), and approximately 120 student employees. As a manager, the general role David plays in the organization is to supervise the step of what they call is “the front of the house”, meaning to make sure that they get great customer service and people are given the high quality product. So his general role is to facilitate operation of the restaurant as smooth as possible. In order to succeed to be a good leader in “Fresh”, David needs two things. One is good people to work with, and two is the best available product he can get. So, binging the best product they can, preparing the best they can, and serve it. And in order to convey any little things, he needs really capable people who can learn the job and do it well. But the problem is that things happen everyday the way it shouldn’t.

...This paper is an analysis of the closing of Speedy Motors Company's assembly plant in Eastland, Michigan and what might have been done differently. Speedy Motors Company (SMC) gave less than a month notice before they laid off nearly 2,000 workers and closed the facility. This facility had been providing jobs for the community for over 20 years. Terms of the close, the plant should feel morally obligated to provide at least 60 days notice. "The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act is a federal law requiring employers to provide workers, their unions, and state and local government officials sixty days advance notice of any plant closing or mass layoff". (FindLaw, 2002.) This law applies to any private sector employers with at least 100 employees and are either closing the plant or laying off at least 33% of the employees. As far as the benefits provided to the employees, attempting to find other jobs for the employees in one of the other SMC plants (especially with Management level positions) would go a long way for all parties. It would create goodwill in the closing and hiring already trained persons could cut cost in the long run. This may involve a move on the employees' part, but at least they would have the opportunity to keep their tenor with SMC. Depending on the contract signed by each employee, a severance may be in order. Also, setting up a short term employment office might be a good idea to get jobs for employees that cannot be relocated. ...
