AWA Prompt
"A lot has been written about the notion that workers are dissatisfied with the working conditions in our manufacturing facilities. The rumor is based on the protests by the labor union workers in the last three months. Those writing passionately on the issue may want to know that a paltry 20% of the workers have participated in the protests. Further, in our internal survey, an overwhelming 70% of the participating workers gave positive feedback for the working conditions. Last year the management spent more money on improving the working conditions that what it did collectively in the three preceding years. Clearly, the notion is uncalled for and there is no significant scope for improvement in the working conditions in our working facilities."
This argument states that a lot has been written about that the workers in manufacturing facility are dissatisfied with the working conditions which is based on the rumor about protests by the labor union in the last three months. The management describes that 70% of those only 20% of the workers who have participated in these protests gave positive feedback for the working conditions based on internal survey conducted by the management and that the management, last year, spent more money on improving the working conditions than what it did collectively in the three preceding years. Based on these facts, argument concludes that there is no significant scope for improvement in the working conditions in its manufacturing facility. However, there are certain assumptions based on which the argument rely and need to be discussed to validate whether the argument is logical in its current form.
First, the argument assumes that the internal survey that the management has conducted has addressed all of the concerns related to working environment. It could be possible that survey doesn’t include the main concerns about which the workers are protesting and include those concerns that have already been improved. This could be the reason that 70% of those who have participated in the survey gave positive feedback. Therefore, the argument should describe what constitutes good working conditions based on the feedback from workers and then do the survey to confirm the satisfaction level of the workers.
Second, the argument also assumes that as the management spent more money last year than spent collectively in the preceding year, the working conditions should have been improved comparatively. However, it is nowhere mentioned regarding the quality of the improved working conditions or whether these improvements are acceptable as per the workers. It could be possible that 30% of those who have not responded positively in the survey work in departments in which working conditions haven’t improved from the past four years.
In conclusion, it can be said that the argument has not mentioned the various assumptions, some of which are discussed previously, to justify its conclusion. Therefore, the argument in its present form has various loopholes and is still open to debate. Had the argument clearly described conditions such as what constitutes good working environment, it would have been become clear to deduce the conclusion.
