Industrial Relation Policy

IT’S ALL ABOUT HUMAN RELATIONSHIP

HUMAN BEING IS THE PIVOT OF THIS RELATIONSHIP : A factor that exists independently and is capable of intelligent thinking & responsible actions.

AND THERE ARE BROAD DRIVES IN HUMAN NATURE : Innate sense of

dignity, conscious of right’s , self esteem , complex emotions , opportunity & satisfaction.

AND MAN SEEKS ESTEEM OF OTHERS : Craves recognition , want’s to be

trusted and respected.AND

MAN HAS INSTINCTS OF SURVIVAL AND NEEDS SECURITY : Material needs (Food / Clothing / Shelter etc.) Hazards of future.

ESSENTIALLY IT IS HUMAN RELATIONS AT WORK PLACE

AND HE NEEDS TO SATISFY HIS SOCIAL INSTINCTS : Wants to join others to secure common interest / team work.

AND WE ALL KNOW THAT

WHEN THESE ARE SATISFIED : He is Happy , Cooperative & Productive

AND IF NOT : He is – Morose ,Aggrieved and Bitter

CAUSES FOR POOR IR

The main reason are as follows :- Indiscipline. Unhealthy working conditions at the workplace. Lack of human relation skills on the part of supervisors and managers. Desire of worker for higher bonus, wages or daily allowances. Desire of employers to pay as little as possible to it’s workers. Strikes by the workers. Inter-union rivals.

DEVELOPING SOUND IR

Developing trust between Labor and Management.

Maintenance of Industrial Peace.

Continuous feedback & monitoring.

Existence of sound , democratic Trade Unions.

CODE OF DISCIPLINE

To maintain harmonious relations and promote industrial peace, a code of discipline has been laid down which applies to both public and private sector enterprises.

It specifies various obligations for the management and the workers with the objective of promoting cooperation between their representatives.

APPROACHES TO IR

There are mainly three approaches to IR :

1. UNITARY APPROACH

2. PLURALISTIC APPROACH

3. MARXIST APPROACH

1. UNITARY APPROACH

IR is grounded in mutual co-operation, individual treatment, team work and shared goals.

Union co-operate with the management & the management right to manage is accepted because there is no ‘ we they feeling ’.

Assumption : common interest & promotion of harmony No strikes are there.

It’s a reactive IR strategy. The seek direct negotiations with employees.

MAKING OF IR MAN

MEAN WHAT YOU SAY). LOOK FOR ALTERNATIVES KEEP THE COMMUNICATION ON,PARTICULARLY

DURING THE DISPUTES. DIFFUSE THE SITUATION. ADOPT A HOLISTIC APPROACH.
