Industrial relations are the relationship between management and employees or among employees and their organization. Industrial relation deal with either the relationships between the state and the employers and the workers organization or the relation between the occupational organizations themselves. The ILO uses the expression to denote such matters as freedom of association and the protection of the right to organize, the application of the principles of the right to organize, and the right of collective bargaining, collective agreements, conciliation and arbitration and machinery for cooperation between the authorities and the occupational organizations at various levels of the economy.
The term Industrial Relations refers to relationship between Management and Labor or among Employees and their organizations that characterize or grow out of employment. Theoretically speaking, there are two parties in the employment relationship labor and management. Both parties need to work in a spirit of cooperation, adjustment and accommodation. In their own mutual interest certain rules for co-existence are formed and adhered to. Over the years, the State has also come to play a major role in Industrial Relations one, as and initiator of policies and the other, as an employer by setting up an extremely large public sector.
The document discusses the major parties involved in industrial relations: employees, employers, government, and trade unions. It outlines the roles of each party. Employees seek to collectively bargain and improve their terms and conditions through trade unions. Employers associations represent employers in collective bargaining and provide advice to avoid disputes. The government establishes the legal framework and bodies like wage boards and courts to promote satisfaction among employers and employees.
The document discusses workers' education at different levels in India. It was defined as education designed to give workers a better understanding of their status, problems, rights and responsibilities. There are three levels - national, regional, and unit.

Wage boards are tripartite bodies that represent labor, management, and public interests to determine wages in certain industries. They were first established in the 1950s-1960s and over 30 wage boards have been constituted so far. Pay commissions are also tripartite bodies that determine salary structures for government employees. Six pay commissions have been established since 1946 to make recommendations every 10-15 years on salary increases and structures. Both wage boards and pay commissions aim to standardize wages and salaries in a way that considers social and economic policies while also improving industrial relations.

The concept of WPM is a broad and complex one. Depending on the socio-political environment and
cultural conditions, the scope and contents of participation change.
International Institute of Labour Studies: WPM is the participation resulting from the practices
which increase the scope for employees’ share of influence in decision-making at different tiers of
organizational hierarchy with concomitant (related) assumption of responsibility.
ILO: Workers’ participation, may broadly be taken to cover all terms of association of workers and
their representatives with the decision-making process, ranging from exchange of information, consultations, decisions and negotiations, to more institutionalized forms such as the presence of workers’ member on management or supervisory boards or even management by workers themselves (as practiced in Yugoslavia).
The main implications of workers’ participation in management as summarized by ILO:
• Workers have ideas which can be useful;
• Workers may work more intelligently if they are informed about the reasons for and the
intention of decisions that are taken in a participative atmosphere
The document discusses workers' participation in management. It defines participation as workers contributing to and sharing responsibility for group goals. Workers' participation in management means giving workers influence over managerial decision making through various forms in an organization.

The document discusses several key aspects of India's labor market and industrial relations system. It notes that the Indian economy has transitioned from import substitution post-independence to economic liberalization. The labor force is predominantly casual and informal, with only 13% in regular wage employment. There are concerns around job creation, skills, mobility, productivity and competitiveness. Industrial relations involve multiple parties like workers, management, unions and the government and are influenced by economic, social, political and technological factors. The state plays a role in regulating labor issues through various laws and policies.
The document discusses key concepts in industrial relations including:
1. It defines industrial relations as the relationships between employees, employers, and unions within organizational settings including collective bargaining and dispute resolution.
2. It outlines the objectives of industrial relations as avoiding disputes between management and labor to increase productivity while also improving workers' living conditions.
3. It discusses the roles of the main actors in industrial relations - employees, employers, and the state through labor laws and policies.
The document discusses the changing workforce and industrial relations. It begins by outlining reasons for changes in the workforce, such as globalization, new technologies, and shifting worker demographics and expectations. This is forcing companies to change their concepts and move from a focus on hours worked to productivity and employee engagement.
The essence of the changing workforce is discussed, focusing on how it is impacting trade unions and use of contract labor. Trade unions are playing a more cooperative role with companies. While contract labor provides flexibility, it also raises issues if labor laws are not followed.
The industrial relations scenario encompasses factors like collective bargaining, dispute resolution mechanisms, and labor legislation. Maintaining good relationships between management and workers is key.
The document discusses key aspects of collective bargaining including:
1) Collective bargaining is a process between employers and unions to negotiate terms of employment such as pay, hours, and working conditions.
2) Unions organize to gain better wages, hours, and protections for workers and to have a voice in the workplace.
3) Successful collective bargaining requires a favorable political climate, strong unions, and both parties bargaining in good faith.
Trade unions are organizations formed by workers to protect their interests and achieve better working conditions through collective bargaining with employers. The main functions of trade unions are to represent workers, negotiate on their behalf, and give workers a voice in decisions that affect them. Trade unions also provide services to their members like training, welfare benefits, and help resolving issues. Workers join trade unions for greater bargaining power with employers, to reduce discrimination, and have a sense of security, participation, and belongingness. Unions are classified based on their ideology, the industries and trades they represent, and the types of agreements they have with employers regarding membership.
The relevance of joint unions and allied bodies in hospital communityJennifer Giovanna
Joint unions and allied bodies in the hospital community aim to protect workers' interests and improve employment conditions through collective bargaining. They negotiate with employers on issues like wages, benefits, and safety standards. Employees join unions to gain greater bargaining power, a sense of security, and a platform to participate in decisions affecting their jobs. However, unions face challenges like limited membership, financial problems, and criticism of some strikes. Overall, unions aim to promote harmony between workers and administrators in the healthcare system.

Despite some progress in advancing the agenda on aid effectiveness for development results,
trade unions contend that much more needs to be done if the Paris Declaration/Accra agenda for action processes are to move significantly forward in terms of real development effectiveness.
Given the shortcomings of the neo-liberal paradigm that has dominated development policy-making and caused persistent poverty and a huge decent work deficit, trade unions call for a
more comprehensive development paradigm that shifts from aid to development effectiveness.
Development effectiveness is defined by trade unions as the generation of positive social
outcomes in terms of decent work, social protection, social dialogue, respect for human and
trade union rights, gender equality, environmental sustainability, and the enjoyment of decent livelihoods and well being by all. To achieve development effectiveness, trade unions call for the adoption by the Fourth High Level Forum of a Busan Declaration on Development
Effectiveness which should address three major goals:
I) Achieving development effectiveness,
II) Realizing the commitments made on aid effectiveness, and
III) Supporting trade union and CSO’s as development actors in their own right.
The document provides an overview of industrial relations, including:
1. It defines industrial relations as the relationships between employees, employers, and labor unions within an organizational setting and discusses the need to maintain cooperation and avoid conflict.
2. It outlines the perspectives and objectives of industrial relations from the viewpoints of workers, employers, society, and government. Key objectives include establishing sound relationships, avoiding conflicts, and promoting industrial democracy.
3. It discusses the scope of industrial relations, including labor relations, employer-employee relations, and mechanisms for handling conflicts. Maintaining healthy relations and industrial peace are also identified as main aspects.
Industrial relations deal with the relationships between employers/workers organizations, the state, and these organizations themselves. It involves managing the relationships between three main actors: workers (represented by trade unions), employers (represented by employer associations), and the government. Key issues in industrial relations include communication, unions, wages/benefits, ideology, competitiveness, employer flexibility, the role of government/unions, ethics, and technology. Effectively managing these issues and the inherent adversarial positions between labor and management is important for productive industrial relations.
The document discusses various perspectives on industrial relations including from workers, employers, society, and government. It describes industrial relations as the complex relationships between management, workers, and government agencies. It also discusses key theories on industrial relations including Dunlop's systems model which views industrial relations as interconnected parts influenced by external forces, and Weber's social action theory which sees society as a product of human activity rather than external forces.
Industrial relations involves the relationships between employees, employers, and the government within organizational settings. It covers all aspects of the employment relationship, including how employees and employers interact through collective bargaining, grievance procedures, and dispute resolution. Industrial relations aims to establish stable relationships between employers and labor unions while also promoting productivity, employment opportunities, and living standards.
Employers, employees, and governments all have aims regarding employment relations. Employers aim to maximize profitability and survival, employees aim to maximize earnings and job satisfaction, and governments aim for economic development and stability. The world of work is changing due to globalization, increased competition, reduced hierarchy, flexibility, diversity, work-life balance policies, and a focus on individual rights. Effective employment and industrial relations are important for business success through high productivity, profitability, and avoiding legal costs.
Trade unions are voluntary organizations formed by employees to promote and protect their interests through collective action. The main functions of trade unions are to negotiate wages and working conditions with employers, lobby politically for better legislation, provide services to members, and promote workers' welfare, rights, and development. Trade unions also play important roles in regulating jobs, furthering industrial democracy, and advising on human resources issues. They aim to balance the interests of their members with those of the broader workforce and national economy.
Employee/employer relations describes the relationship between workers and employers and can involve collective bargaining through unions, individual bargaining, or employee participation methods. Collective bargaining occurs when a union negotiates on behalf of workers, while individual bargaining involves a single worker negotiating directly with management. If disputes arise over issues like pay or conditions, unions may engage in industrial action like strikes, and ACAS seeks to resolve disputes through arbitration.
Worker participation in management involves workers and management sharing information and participating in decision making. There are various levels and forms of participation, from informative to consultative to administrative to decision-making levels. Effective worker participation can increase productivity and industrial harmony through mutual understanding between workers and management. However, participation in management programs in India have had limited success due to lack of initiative, ideological differences, and management's reluctance to share power.
Collective bargaining is a process of negotiation between representatives of workers and employers to establish conditions of employment. It typically involves negotiations over wages, working hours, and other terms of employment. The key aspects of collective bargaining include representation of workers by a union, negotiation between union representatives and management over terms of employment, and establishing a collective agreement to regulate the relationship between workers and employers.
This document discusses different perspectives on workplace relations and reform. It outlines unitary, pluralist, and Marxist approaches, with the unitary view seeing conflict as temporary and emphasis on cooperation, pluralism viewing organizations as groups with competing interests, and Marxism seeing adversarial relations as inevitable due to class conflict under capitalism. Trade unions are discussed as legitimate representatives of employees but also seeking above-award benefits, with reasons for employee participation and processes for grievances.
This document discusses different perspectives on workplace relations and reform. It outlines unitary, pluralist, and Marxist approaches, with the unitary view seeing conflict as temporary and focusing on harmony, pluralism seeing legitimate competing interests, and Marxism viewing conflicts as inevitable due to class structures. Trade unions are seen as both representatives of workers and competitors for commitment. Reasons for union membership and processes for grievances are also covered.

Chapter 8
Industrial Relations
Changing nature of the employment relationship; Industrial relations – concept; Trade Employers
associations; labor legislation in Nepal along with important provision; Collective bargaining –concept
and process; Disciplinary actions; Grievance handling; conflict management- unilateral , joint and third
party decisions; Dismissal redundancy and outplacement; current situation of IR in Nepal; Emerging
concepts in industrial relations
THE CHANGING NATURE OF WORK AND EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS
Key Trends in Work and Employment Relations
• From centralized to decentralized regulation of work and employment relations
• From awards and collectively negotiated agreements to individual contracts of
employment
• From full-time, permanent and continuing jobs to contingent forms of work
• From a pluralist system of employment relations to a unitarist approach in which
collective forms of worker representation are diminished
The Regulation of Work and Employment
• Previously:
A long tradition of centralised regulation of wages and conditions through awards and
agreements in the at both the industry and national levels.
• Over the past decade:
Reduction in the scope of the Commission’s jurisdiction to conciliate and arbitrate award
matters. Encouragement of individualised agreements between workers and employers at the
enterprise level.
The Changing Nature of Work and the Labour Market
• Previously:
Predominantly permanent, full-time forms of employment with hours regulated by awards and
collective agreements.
• Over the past decade:
Many of the workforce now employed in jobs which are casual, part-time and/or fixed contract.
Increased average working hours with unpaid overtime.
Changing Work and Family Issues
• Previously:
Assumption of a ‘male breadwinner model’ with the male partner in fulltime work and the
female in part-time employment and caring for children.
• Over the past decade:
Significant increases in the labour force participation of women with children. Increasing
proportion of families with either dual earners or no-earners. Inadequate paid carers’ leave and
childcare arrangements now major worklife issues.
Changes in the Social Contract at Work
• Previously:
2. Notes Compiled by Ashish Chaulagain – Faculty HRM (Quest International College)
The ‘pillars’ of the implicit social contract between workers, employers and the government
included: access to employment for all who were willing and able to work, the provision of education
and training for work and the expectation of basic economic security in retirement.
• Over the past decade:
Employment has become increasingly insecure, the provision of training by employers has
declined and retirement incomes have diminished in value.
Major Challenges Facing Work and Worklife
• How to reduce pressures on workers and their families arising from job insecurity and
increased working hours?
• How to raise the levels of skill and knowledge of the workforce to be able to adapt to
changes and obtain sustainable jobs?
• How to provide greater opportunities for workers to participate in decision-making and
governance of their workplaces?
• How to support and reform labour market institutions to achieve equity and efficiency
at work?
Employee and employer associations
In smaller businesses, if employees have any problems they can talk directly to their employer.
However, in larger businesses that employs many people, it becomes extremely hard to do so. It is also
hard for the Human Resources department to make decisions when they have about 500 employees
(e.g. who will get a pay rise?). It becomes much easier if decisions are negotiated with a trade union, and
employee association that represents them. This saves the management a lot of time because they do
not have to see individual employees to discuss problems.
Employees might not be treated fairly at work. They may be overworked and underpaid. Trade unions
has the role of bargaining with the HR department for better working conditions, conditions of
employment and better pay.
Trade Unions
Employees with similar interests (higher pay) form a trade union. Trade unions are a form of pressure
group with has the ability to influence business activity. There are four main types of trade unions:
Craft union: For workers skilled at a particular job.
General union: For unskilled and semi-skilled workers from different industries.
Industrial union: For all types of workers in an industry.
White-collar union: For non-manual or office workers.
3. Notes Compiled by Ashish Chaulagain – Faculty HRM (Quest International College)
Why do workers join a trade union?
Unions have a shop steward, who is an unpaid representative of the union. When someone is new to a
job they may ask if they may want to join. If the person joins, they will have to pay an annual
subscription. This money will be use for employing union officials who will represent the views of the
employees.
Advantages of a union
Strength in numbers.
Improved conditions of employment.
Improved working conditions.
Improved sickness benefits, pensions, and retrenchment benefits.
Improved job satisfaction and encourage training.
Advice/Financial
support if a worker is dismissed unfairly/made redundant or is asked to do something not part
of their job.
Improved fringe benefits.
Employment where there is a closed shop, which is when all employees in a business must
belong to the same union.
Trade unions need to:
Put forward their views in the media to influence government decisions on pay, employment,
etc…
Improve communications between workers and managers.
Closed shop
A closed shop is when all employees must join one union in order to be employed. It is because its
members feel that the union is doing nothing when non-members receive the same pay rises as them.
They think it is unfair. Trade unions also gain greater strength if all the employees are members of the
union. However, many people think that it is unfair since they are forced to join – they should be able to
make their own decisions.
4. Notes Compiled by Ashish Chaulagain – Faculty HRM (Quest International College)
Single union agreement
Some companies have a single union agreement, when a business only agrees to deal with a single
union. Any employees who want to join a union can join this union. It is becoming more popular
nowadays because many employees are becoming multi-skilled, and do not know which union to join.
Advantages to the employee:
Discussions are clearer if there is only one union to deal with.
The union has greater power.
No disagreements between different unions.
A better working relationship should develop between the union and the management.
Disputes are solved more quickly.
Advantages to the employer:
Discussions are clearer.
A better working relationship should develop, meaning that there would be less industrial
disputes, benefiting both employees and employers.
Disputes are solved more quickly.
It is easier to agree to changes.
The structure of a trade union
The structure of different unions vary, but most elect a President or General Secretary to work full-time
for and get paid by the union. They work at the union's headquarters. If the union is large, there will be
union officials to take cared of members in different branches. Each branch represents its members in
one work site, one factory, or one employer. Each branch has a representative. Unions are usually
democratic and their union officers are voted up by the members.
5. Notes Compiled by Ashish Chaulagain – Faculty HRM (Quest International College)
Employer associations
Employers join what are called employer associations/employer federations/trade associations. Like
trade unions, employer associations are made up of businesses and employers and who all pay annual
fees for their benefits.
Advantages of joining an employer association:
They negotiate with trade unions on behalf of their members.
They give advice on employment laws, health and safety, taxation laws etc…
Strength in numbers, they want to influence government decisions.
They can share ideas and research facilities.
They can organise bulk buying for members and get discounts.
Employer associations and the government.
Employer associations represent similar wants of businesses, and will try to influence the governments
to give better conditions for businesses to prosper:
They want the government to control things such as inflation, law and order, health and safety,
and education for the workforce.
Lower taxes.
More freedom for businesses.
Fair competition.
Good transport infrastructure.
Access to overseas markets.
Reliable source of power.
Collective bargaining
This is when representatives of different interest groups negotiate and a collective agreement is made.
The bargaining can be with businesses or with the government. Collective
6. Notes Compiled by Ashish Chaulagain – Faculty HRM (Quest International College)
bargaining in businesses usually means that the representatives of one or more trade unions negotiate
with one or more employers or employer associations to come up with a mutually acceptable
agreement on conditions of employment.
Why trade unions want wage increases:
Inflation.
It is difficult to recruit qualified workers (so pay them more!).
Pay differentials need to be maintained (everybody's wages should rise when the minimum
wage rises).
Changes in the workplace, e.g. new machinery.
If there are increased productivity, wages should increase too. There are productivity
agreements, when managers and trade unions agree to raise prices for increased productivity.
Often agreements take place and the "middle path" is taken. However, this does not always
happen and if the workers and unsatisfied with the agreements, they will use industrial action.
Industrial action
There are various forms of industrial action that try to influence the decisions of employers. Here are
some of their most comment forms.
Strikes
Strikes are when workers stop working and leave the workplace to protest against things.
Token strike: Stoppage for an hour, a few hours or half a day to show strong feelings.
Selective strike: Only a few workers go on strike. They are chosen by the union to cause as much
disruption as possible.
All out strike: All union members stop working and wait until a dispute has been settled.
Unions have to pay their members out of strike funds as long as the strike has been approved by the
union. All members vote to see if the strike is favourable or not.
7. Notes Compiled by Ashish Chaulagain – Faculty HRM (Quest International College)
Picketing
This is when workers stand outside the factory holding signs to protest and stop any people going in and
out as well as goods. This can halt the production process. The strikers gain publicity and gives the firm a
bad image. This puts pressure on the firm to settle the dispute.
Work to rule
This is when workers stick rigidly to every rule and regulation in the business so that it slows down the
production process. They still get paid since they are technically doing nothing wrong, but this still
causes a lot of disruption in the workplace.
Go slow
All workers deliberately do things very slowly.
Non-cooperative
Workers refuse to work with any new rules or follow any new practices they do not approve of.
Overtime ban
Workers refuse to do any overtime. This might damage the business if they need to complete some
orders quickly.
Possible harmful consequences of industrial action:
For employers:
o Loss of output.
o Loss of profit.
o Loss of customers.
o Poor reputation.
o Bad image.
For employees:
o Loss of wages.
o They might lose their jobs if the company suffers low profits.
For customers:
o They need to find another supplier which might cost more (production is stopped)
8. Notes Compiled by Ashish Chaulagain – Faculty HRM (Quest International College)
o Shortage of products.
o Deliveries not made.
For other businesses:
o May lose income.
o May not have materials to produce goods.
For the economy:
Workers have less money to spend.
Less tax revenue.
Country gain bad reputation for late deliveries.
Workers may be made redundant.
Exports may be lost and imports increased.
Employer's powers
However, employers can do something about the situation. Usually, they will sign a no-strike agreement
with the union which also involves pay rises. The pay rises are determined by an arbitrator, an
independent person who represents both sides and decides on the best decisions possible. Again, he will
most likely choose the "middle path".
Nevertheless, if strikes do happen, here are some things employers can do:
Dismiss all workers: This leave the company in a very terrible position since they can't
produce goods or deliver goods.
Lock-out the workers: Stop workers from coming to work or get paid. Used to counter work
to rule and go slow strategies.
Institute a pay freeze: Used if employees are refusing to follow new rules, practices or
operate new machinery.
Worker participation:
The management needs to let everyone feel that they are part of the business. This means that
managers will let workers participate in business decisions. There are several ways of doing this:
9. Notes Compiled by Ashish Chaulagain – Faculty HRM (Quest International College)
Worker directors: Some workers become directors, but they are not allowed to attend all
board meetings.
Works councils: These are where representatives of employees get together and discuss
matters that affect employees with managers. Works councils are called European committees
in Europe, and are becoming more common there. Multinationals with more than 1000 workers
or 100 workers per branch will have to create a works council and will have to always consult it
when making decisions affecting employees.
Quality circles: This is often used in Japanese companies, where workers regularly debate on
how to improve quality and efficiency.
Using a democratic style of leadership: Workers are delegated tasks and are consulted
in business decisions.
Advantages of worker participation
It increases the flow of information and improve relationships between the employer and the employee.
It increases motivation.
It increases job satisfaction.
It benefits the company since it can use knowledge from experienced workers.
Disadvantages of worker participation
It is time consuming.

Redundancy
Termination of employees for business reasons, such as poor economic conditions.
Redundancies can be forced or voluntary – in the case of voluntary redundancies there are
usually incentives offered to outgoing employees, such as extended garden leave or more

valuable severance packages. Voluntary redundancies are designed to prevent the employer
having to choose who to terminate.
Redundancies can be controversial, particularly if businesses must select who is to be made
redundant. A commonly-used technique is Last In, First Out (LIFO), whereby the employees who
have joined most recently are considered first for redundancy. This in itself is controversial;
critics say it disadvantages young workers who will inevitably have less-established careers.
Redundancies are typically preceded by consultations, which are collaborative efforts between
employers, employees and other stakeholders into ways the business can save the role from
redundancy through new opportunities or restructuring. Employers may legally be required to
consult for a certain period of time although this often depends on how many employees are at
risk of redundancy.
When multiple people are at risk of redundancy, the correct term is collective redundancy.
Common euphemisms for redundancy include ‘downsizing,’ ‘delayering,’ ‘excess reduction,’
and ‘strategic restructuring.’
Redundancy happens when a person is told to leave the job because his skills are of no
more use to the organisation. This may happen due to many reason, for example,
A merger between two firms results in surplus job.
A business is losing sales and wants to cut the production level or cost and may lay off

Outplacement
The process of a company assisting recently redundant or terminated employees with searching
for other employment opportunities. Some of these companies work with particular
outplacement agencies that locate news jobs for the laid off employees. Outplacement services
are typically only provided for a certain amount of time and are not required to be offered by

the company. Outplacements services are paid for by the downsizing company. It helps in finding
another job, given by an employer to an employee who has been made redundant.
