10. ADVANTAGES
CB - the advantage of settlement through
dialogue & consensus rather than through
conflict & confrontation. Arrangements
resulting from collective bargaining usually
represent the choice or compromise of the
parties themselves.
It differs from arbitration (the solution is
based on a decision of a third party).
Arbitration may displease one party
because it usually involves a win/lose
situation, and sometimes it may even
displease both parties.
11. CB is a form of participation. Both parties
participate in deciding what proportion of the
'cake' is to be shared by the parties entitled to
a share. It is a form of participation also bcoz
it involves a sharing of rule-making power btn
employers & unions in areas which in earlier
times were regarded as management
prerogatives, e.g. transfer, promotion,
redundancy, discipline, modernisation,
production norms.
However, in some countries such as
Singapore and Malaysia, transfers,
promotions, retrenchments, lay-offs & work
assignments are excluded by law from the
scope of collective bargaining.

For Union & Management-
Be friendly in negotiation. Introduce everybody.
Be willing to listen. There would be time enough
for you to worry about things and say “no”, after
you have heard all the facts.
Give everyone an opportunity to state his
position and point of view.
Know something about the personal history of
the other party’s representatives.
Always bear in mind the fact that you to do
what is right and fair
15. suggestions
Recognition of TU has to be determined (verification of fee
membership method). The union having more membership
should be recognised as the effective bargaining agent.
The State should enact suitable legislation providing for
compulsory recognition of trade union by employers.
Section 22 of the Trade Unions Act, 1926 should be
amended.
The provision for political fund by TUs has to be done away
with-since it invariably encourages the politicians to prey
upon the union.
State has to play a progressive role in removing the pitfalls
which stand in the way of mutual, amicable and voluntary
settlement oflabourdisputes.
