Labour Relations

Question: Detail the reasons why a union may reject a tentative agreement approved by its representatives at the bargaining table. Then, discuss what strategies increase resistance of employers to unionization. Is this a new phenomenon or simply a return to the historic relationship that has existed between unions and management in the United States? Detail why or why not. Answer: Introduction This study has been highlighted the concept of labour relationship. In this context, the reason of rejection of a tentative approved agreement by the union representatives has been discussed. This study is also helpful to estimate the strategies, which are assumed to be beneficial to raise the resistance of the employees to unionization. In addition, the relationship between union and the management of United States has been measured. Body In order to discuss the reason of rejection, Burchill (2014) mentioned that the employees could not purchase the labour peace during the deal of four years. Henceforth, the personnel had admitted this agreement as unacceptable. The workers were also looking for the higher wages as well as working environment. In addition, they also wanted greater leisure time in their 12 hours shift timing. Due to the lack of these requirements, the union representative had rejected the tentative approved agreement. The strategies would be discussed as the lower wage rate of the employees is needed to be increased. In this occasion, the corporate reorganisations have been launched in the year of 1970s. The labour had responded by including the new organisational framework to make t able to deal with the new attacks. According to Estanque Costa (2012), the relationship between labour and the management was initiated in the mid of the year of 1860 during the time of industrial revolution in United States. Most of the time, the companies fired to its employees to take part in the union action. This tradition was followed from the World War II. Conclusion The overall study has aimed to establish the relationship among the management and the workers of USA. In this respect, it can be observed, due to the lower wage rate, the workers did not consider the tentative agreements at the bargaining table. Furthermore, the discussion of the strategies that could enhance the resistance of the labours to unionization would increase the essence of the study. References Burchill, F.
