Assignment
XYZ is a company with its headquarters in Tokyo, Japan.
XYZ is active with a subsidiary in UK and is considering a partnership in US, for which some of its employees will have to be stationed there.. The CEO has done a lot of reading regarding legislation, union traditions and employment relations in UK and US, being already familiar with those in UK, and has been to both countries on several occasions.
Prior to making a decision as to whether to expand a subsidiary in UK or engage in a partnership in US, for which employees will have to be sent there from either the Japan or UK, the CEO and CFO require pertinent information about employment relations in UK and US. It therefore also needs to compare labour conditions in UK and US, and employment relations in both countries. The Board of XYZ is careful with its reputation, as it has been in a conflict with unions in the Japan over labour conditions in its facilities there and it wants to avoid Further damage to its reputation should there be issues with its activities outside of the Japan.
The Board of the company also intends to move some employees from Japan to US or UK.
You are tasked to:
1) Analyze all three jurisdictions the UK, the US and Japan– reviewing parties to employment relations, including trade unions, business partners, collective bargaining and the role of the state
2) Advise whether the CEO should opt for either expanding in UK or entering in a partnership in US–provide detailed analysis about both countries in relation to labour conditions and the compatibility with XYZ’s operations, but making a clear choice which country either UK or US, the CEO should choose in the end. You are required to justify your choice with logical argumentation.
3) Explain and discuss the ramifications /effects for employees moving from Japan to UK or US, and possibly moving from UK to US (analyzing and discussing each country separately, discussing legal conditions, union traditions and employment relations.
