Employee relations’ refers to the collective relationships that an employer has with its employees. These relationships may be with the entire employee group, or with smaller groups within it, but they are always with groups of employees.
Employee relations is about the relationship between employees and employer that is conducted through communication with trade unions, staff associations
or representatives of employees, or directly with groups of employees.
The relationship an individual has with the employer, for example by agreeing, as an individual, to attend work and to be bound by disciplinary rules, is not employee relations’.
Our approach
We believe in a dynamic approach. Employee relations needs managing. We are neither pro- nor anti-union. However, if a trade union is an obstacle to a client’s objectives, we reckon it is better to make plans to overcome this than to accept the status quo. So we may recommend that the company set up other channels of communication; or reduce the influence of the union; or
enhance one union at the expense of another. If no union is recognised, we also draw up plans that promote the client’s objectives. This may mean winning the support of the workforce through initiatives to promote a helpful
dialogue, for example.
There are statutory requirements for collective action, such as to consult about redundancy, or to provide information. We ‘manage’ these activities, to retain control of the agenda, information and timescales, rather than passively apply the legislation.
We reckon that efforts to talk to employees and tell them about the business are likely to help, rather than hinder, productivity.
Collective bargaining is a process by which employers on the one hand and employee representatives on the other attempt to arrive at an agreement concerning the conditions under which employees will contribute and be compensated for their services.
Negotiation may be competitive or collaborative, but collaborative negotiation generally have more positive outcome. A major goal is to make the other part feel satisfied with the outcome. The focus should be creates a win-win situation.

the employees who wish to be members of the

the Name of the Trade Union (3)

16. RECOGNITION OF TRADE
UNION
Recognition is of two types
DEFACTO -: Those trade unions who do not
bother about recognition and commands
attendance and knows that whether the
employer recognize or not it can dictate terms
are known as defacto recognition.
DE JURE -: A trade union is said to be dejure
when it is duly and officially recognized by the
management. As employer may on his on
volition grant recognition or he may act with
the unions as if it is recognized.
17. CRITERIA FOR RECOGNITION OF
UNIONS
1. Where there is more than one union, a union
claiming recognition should have been functioning
for at least one year after registration. Where there is
only one union, this condition would not apply.
2. The membership of the union should cover at least
15% of the workers in the establishment concerned.
Membership would be counted only to those who
had paid their subscription for at least three months
during the period of six months immediately
proceeding the reckoning.
3. A union may claim to be recognised as a
representative union for an industry in a local area if
it has a membership of atleast 25% of the workers of
that industry in that area.
18. 5. Where there are several unions in an industry or
establishment, the one with the largest membership should
be recognised
6. A representative union for an industry in an area should
have the right to represent the workers in all the
establishments in the industry, but if a union of workers in a
particular establishment has a membership of 50% or
more of the workers of that establishment, it should have
the right to deal with matters of purely local interest such
as, for instance, the handling of grievances pertaining to its
own members. All workers who are not members of that
union might either operate through representative union for
the industry or seek redress directly.
7. In the case of trade union federations, which are not
affiliated to any of the four central organisations of labour,
19. Collective Bargaining: Role of
trade Unions
The collective bargaining process comprises
of five core steps:
Prepare
Discuss
Propose
Bargain
Settlement
20. Case Study of Hotel
Oberoi
The employees of the hotel used to get 65 days
holiday per year, but the management wanted
to reduce it by 15 days due to some managerial
issues.
The workers readily and strongly opposed this
proposal and approached Maharashtra
Samarth Kamgar Sanghatna to solve this issue.
MSKS understood the workers dilemma and
went to the management to reach an
understanding via collective bargaining.
21. Collective Bargaining
Process
1. MSKS agreed to convince the workers but in
return asked the management to pay 20 days extra
salary in the month of December.
2. The management and workers debated over
the issue.
The management found that they had the workers
working for 15 extra days and the workers found
that they were being paid for 20 days just for 15
days of extra work.
22. Case Study of Hotel
Leela
The 9/11 Twin towers blasts in America, had its
adverse effects on the hotel industry as well.
Hotel Leela decided to eliminate 280 of its
employees because of low salary availability. This
280 employees included 200 workers and 80
supervisors.
The employees approached Maharashtra Samarth
Kamgar Sanghatna and a meeting was held
between the management and the secretary of
MSKS.
23. Collective Bargaining
Process
The reason behind this decision was asked and the
reason given by the management was that they
were unable to pay heavy remunerations to this
large amount of employees.
After some calculations it was found that if 10% of
the remuneration of the workers was cut then it
would be able to provide remuneration to the 200
workers.
The management agreed and 200 workers were
24. Collective Bargaining Process
Further it was found that if 2.5% reduction from the
existing salary could be done along with the
reduction of 10%, then even the remaining 80 could
be employed.
MSKS wanted the reduction to be done right from
the upper level managers to the lower level
employees which the management accepted.
This reduction continued only for 3 months and
after that everything was back to normal.
