    The American Federation of Teachers was founded in 1916 by eight local teachers. However, the American Federation of Teachers had lost majority of their members by 1920. The union fought hard for tenure laws for long standing teachers as well as teachers who were being sought after for having differing views and beliefs than those in the political arena especially during World War I. Over time, strength in the union’s leadership helped more members to join and saw a climb from less than 5,000 in 1920 to 32,000 in 1939. The union was able to move to collective bargaining in the 1940s. In fact, the first strike for the teacher’s union occurred in November 1946 and lasted for 38 days. Over time, the American Federation of Teachers grew to become the second largest union in the United States (AFT History, 2012).…

    GEICO was founded in 1936 in San Antonio, Texas by Leo and Lillian Goodwin. “In the mid-1930s, at the height of the Great Depression, there weren 't many people with the foresight and courage to start up a new company. Yet the husband and wife team were up to the challenge” (GEICO, 2011). The company was established to provide auto insurance for governmental employees in the United States. GEICO was based on the idea governmental employees were safer and more financially dependable than the general public. Under this approach, GEICO was able to cut the middle man, save the company money, and pass savings onto its customers, and employees. Though GEICO no longer limits its customer base to government employees, they continue to operate under the same basic theory with regards to taking care of its employees. This paper will examine GEICO total rewards program.…
