听力原文:Thayer: Well, I think that.., probably, the.., uh... speaking of it from an employer's standpoint,
the easiest thing for an employer to do would be to join a union. Now this might seem?
Interviewer: From an employer's.., uh...
Thayer: From an employer's standpoint. The reason is that you have the security of never having
to worry about having employees. Uh... you'd be meeting a?
Interviewer: Uh-huh?
Thayer: ... a certain criteria because the unions set the criteria for the people that work-their
salaries, their fringe benefits, and so on.
Interviewer: And you...you probably have one outfit to deal with, rather that...
Thayer: That's correct. So you -- from the employee standpoint, of course, you have the problem
that the employee is...is captive to a set of criteria...
Interviewer: Uh-huh.
Thayer: ... and his freedom is greatly reduced because of the fact that...that his bargaining agent
is someone else-- it's not himself.
Interviewer: He's no longer in an individual-to-employer situation...
Thayer: That is correct.
Interviewer: Is it a trade-off...uh...to a certain extent? I mean, uh...
Thayer: Well, my feeling is...one of the nice things about working for a small business which
is non-union, you have a higher degree of freedom. And that it's much easier from the
employee's standpoint...uh...to be able to negotiate one-to-one, than to work through a
shop steward, or...or a union agent that tells you what you're going to do...
Interviewer: Uh-huh...
Thayer: And so,...uh...that's one of the great advantages of a small business--because most of
them are non-union, and they have survived in the country...
Interviewer: ...and...and it's those people that are really independent that have made this country too.
But when you become a captive to any big organization--whether it's a corporation, a
union or a government--you just absolutely lose your freedom.
Interviewer: What are some of the factors that...uh...you feel, on this one-to-one kind of basis, lead to
employee satisfaction? Uh...
Thayer: Well, the main...the main thing, I think, is being identified in...in an organization
that...that you are important. And...uh...uh...each individual...uh...uh...in a company of--
like...like, I go through uh...every so ...often ... and.just jot what everybody's doing, and
make sure that I've got them placed properly. It's a very informal method, but just
Interviewer: So, you know what everybody's doing ...
Thayer: That's right.
Interviewer: In part, what you seem to be saying is that ... uh ... a lot of the job satisfaction has to do
with ... uh ... recognition ... uh ...
Thayer: Right. And ? and the leadership in the company.
Interviewer: Uh-hm ...
Thayer: I mean, people have to be proud of that particular company, or they just won't stick
around.
Interviewer: Loyalty or identification with the purposed of...
Thayer: You-- it goes both ways. And...and one of the biggest struggles is to make sure
that...that you are aware of all the problems--individual problems--that people are
having, and sit down with them. Like, I sat down with one lady this morning whose
