Human Factors
I was working Ground Control so I wasn't directly involved with the coordination. Runway XX was in use; but the wind had shifted to approximately 300/12. The Flight Line Manager called TRACON to coordinate a runway change. What I overheard was that the arrival controller wasn't interested in a change at the moment and was going to continue to send aircraft to RWY XXL which is exactly what I observed over the next few minutes. Our Local Controller was holding a Cessna taildragger that was airborne and needed to land on RWY XYL due to the wind and sent the E75 around. The GLST was #2 on final for XXL and was able to land despite the tailwind.
Ground Controller reported when the Tower Manager wanted to switch runways; the Approach controller did not want to and ran more traffic in despite the tailwind.
