1. Describe the Industrial relations in India. Discuss the current developments in industrial relations and high light the current issues and challenges in Industrial relations with suitable examples.

Concept of Industrial Relations:

The term ‘Industrial --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------indirectly from union-employer relationship.

Industrial relations are the --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------interactions are mediated.

Industrial relations in India

A study of modern industrial relations in India can be made in three distinct phases. The first phase can be considered to have commenced from about the middle of the nineteenth century and ended by the end of the First World War. The second phase comprises the period thereafter till the attainment of the independence in 1947, and the third phase represents the post-independence era.

First Phase : During the --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------relations in India.

The close of the First World War ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1920 was another significant event in the history of industrial relations in our country.

Second Phase: The Policy after the ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Act (1923), the Trade Unions Act (1926) and the Trade Disputes Act (1917).

During the Second war, employers made enormous profits. The workers demanded a share in them. Bonus and dearness allowance were granted to them but as money wages did not increase in proportion to the rise in prices. The years immediately following the war were the most disturbed years from the point of view of the pattern of Industrial relations in India. In 1946 the Industrial Employment (Standing orders) Act and the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 provided for the settlement of disputes.

Third Phase: Immediately after ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------been prevalent everywhere. Govt. has emerged as an

arbitrator between management and workers. It is in this context that the Industrial Disputes Act of 1947 deserves importance.

During the second five year -------------------------------------------------------------- were evolved which evolved which formulate the need based minimum wage, wage boards, guidelines on rationalization, code of discipline, code of conduct, scheme for workers participation in management.

Evolution of Industrial Relations Policies

1. In pre-independence India

State intervention in labour/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Disputes) Act of 1860. These Acts aimed at protecting the social system against labour rather than protecting labour against the social system.

Deterioration in working ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1920) and demands for higher wages, improved working conditions led to serious industrial troubles and labour problems.

The beginning of industrial relations dynamics can be traced back to the inception of the Indian Labour Conference as far as 1942 by B.R. Ambedkar, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ labour on a common platform as consultative tripartite forum for all matter of labour policy and industrial relations was accepted.

2. In Post-Independence India

The Industrial Disputes Act (1947) provided for i. The establishment of a ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ of certain authorities

like the Works Committee, Conciliation Officers, Industrial Tribunals, Labour Courts: ii. Making an award of a ------------------------------------------------------ on the parties and legally enforceable. This Act seeks: i. The prevention and settlement of ------------------------------------------------, arbitration and adjudication. ii. To prohibit strikes ------------------------------------------------------------- and adjudication proceeding.

In 1950, two bills were brought by the -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------were empowered to certify unions as sole bargaining agents. Recent developments in the field of industrial relations in India

The current developments in the field of industrial relations are basically related to structural changes, acquisitions and mergers, globalization, liberalization, and technological changes.

Structural Changes

The main aspects of the structural changes having an impact on the industrial relations system in the country could be mentioned as:

1. Production ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------the industrial relations system in the country as it has limited its institutions and practices to the formal organized sector in the large-sized units. As such, the system has come under pressure to adjust and adapt to the challenges of growth of 'small and medium units and shift its employment In favor of unorganized sector.

Page 4: MS-24 JAN JUNE 2016 SOLVED ASSIGNMENT

2. Globalization and ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of displacement of labour, i.e., job losses, destabilizing the wage structure, and n shift in skill /occupation composition of labour.

3. Ascendancy in managerial rights and the weakening of trade unions gave greater flexibility to management in utilization of labour and in handling industrial conflict.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Development in the field of industrial relations:

These change described above have not taken place to the some degree in all countries, but are indicative of the trends in most of them.

4) Quality of working life (QWL): During the 1980s there has been a greater concern for the QWL and productivity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ of success. QWL has been instrumental in promoting a number of human resources policies that were aimed at getting productivity increases as well as cooperation during the process of introducing changes in technology.

5) Crises Response: The economic crises ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------, under industrial relations, trade union, disciplines collective bargaining, employee empowerment, technological change and anticipative management.

Functions of Trade Unions

Trade unions have a number of functions, some of which have been more prominent than others at different periods in history. But over the course of time trade unions have developed five principal functions. These are respectively: a service function; a representation function; a regulatory ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------in 2004 where the trade unions and the Labour Party concluded a deal on the shape of a possible third term Labour government.

Trade union at NTPC-

NTPC Limited, a Public Sector Unit (PSU---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2007–2008. It has set new benchmarks for the power industry, in the areas of both power plant construction and operations. The Government of India has even identified NTPC as one of the 'Navratna' (which means 'nine jewels') companies of Indian public sector.

The backbone of NTPC is its human ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------, it was adjudged the third-most great place to work by the Grow Talent Company in their 'Great Places to Work' study in 2004.

There are around 1200 employees at Unchahar ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. Thus the role of trade unions assumes critical significance in the success of the Power Station.

At the national level, union-management relations ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------on the other.

My suggestions for strengthening the Trade Unions in India

If the trade union movement is -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------to the working class.

Some measures that can strengthen -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------, a necessity because “Unity is the strength”. Unity in trade unions can be stricken and maintained in different ways:

1. All workers should join ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- different political affiliations should have one policy, one programme, one objective and one objective and one method for the labour movement.

Page 10: MS-24 JAN JUNE 2016 SOLVED ASSIGNMENT

2. Free from political Influence: At present, trade -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------having qualities such as literate, organizing capacity, hardworking, cool in temper and patience.

3. Workers’ Education: Trade --------------------------------------------------------------------------- now high time for trade unions to assume the responsibility of inculcating in the workers a sense of discipline and responsibility to perform their jobs satisfactorily.

4. Adequacy of funds: Particularly, small---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- prolong and ended in failure. Therefore, the maintenance of strike funds by the union is a necessity.

5. Welfare Activities for Workers: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- children, crèches at work place, night school for adults, reading rooms, libraries, co-operative stores, gymnasiums, etc.

6. Formation of craft --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- amalgamate in to an industrial union Formation of centre cum-industry and national industrial federation should be encouraged.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are some suggestions from me for strengthening the Trade Unions in India.

3. Explain the concept and objectives of Workers Participation in Management (WPM). Describe the historical development of workers participation in management. Discuss the workers involvement practices of an organization with which you are familiar. Concept of Workers Participation in Management (WPM)- Worker's---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------to Management which brought about a new set of values to labor and management.

Workers' participation in management implies mental and emotional involvement of workers in the management of Enterprise. It is --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. It is a process by which authority and responsibility of managing industry are shared with workers.

In India, according to the Industrial Policy Resolution 1956, the aim of the government in advocating workers’ participation in management is “a part of its ----------------------------------------------------------------------- the managerial powers by workers in considered necessary”.

The purposes which workers’ participation in management try to achieve, in the words of the Second Five year Plan, are:

Page 11: MS-24 JAN JUNE 2016 SOLVED ASSIGNMENT

(a) Increasing productivity ------------------------------------------------------ employees and the community;

(b) Giving employees a better ------------------------------------------------------------------- the process of production; and

(c) Satisfying the workers urge for self------------------------------------------------------------- and increased co-operation. It is a means of giving the workers an opportunity to ---------------------------------------------------------------- firm’s objective.

Objectives of Workers Participation in Management (WPM)-

Workers Participatory --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------the main objectives to introduce participative style of management in organizations:

Since then, there is no looking back in this direction.

While supporting the need for ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- committees be set up, but strong trade unions be developed and labour officers be appointed.

Along with the works ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------and the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.

Workers’ Participation in Management after Independence:

In fact, the first major ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------for WPM in these words:

“The State shall take steps, by suitable legislation, or in any other way, to secure the participation of workers in management of undertakings, establishments or other organisations engaged in an industry”.

The First Five-Year Plan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ participation in management. For example, the Second Five-Year Plan’ stressed the need for WPM in the following words:

“It is necessary in this context that the ------------------------------------------------------------------------ a progressive state. The creation of industrial democracy, therefore, is a prerequisite for the establishment of a socialist society”.

The Government of India set up a ‘----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of WPM in the UK, Sweden, France, Belgium, West Germany and Yugoslavia and make recommendations for the Indian case.

The Group submitted ----------------------------------------------------------------------- recommendations:

1. WPM schemes should be ------------------------------------------------------------------------- a voluntary basis.

2. A sub-committee consisting ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ should be set up for considering the WPM in India.

The above recommendations, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------labour and management for the establishment of the Joint Management Councils (JMCs) which would have the following three sets of functions:

First, to fulfill its -------------------------------------------

Besides, the Seminar on Labour ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Scheme 1970 also provided for the appointment of worker director to their Board. One director was from among employees (who are workmen) and another from among officers for tenure of 3 years. Thus up to July 1975, there had ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 13: MS-24 JAN JUNE 2016 SOLVED ASSIGNMENT

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------as one of the Directive Principles of State Policy.

In June 1977, the Government of India set up a high-powered Expert Committee on Companies and MRTP Acts under the Chairmanship of Rajinder Sachar with terms of reference to: (i) Consider the ------------------------------------------------------------------- and MRTP Act and

(ii) To suggest measures ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. The Sachar Com-mittee submitted its report in August 1978.

3. It envisaged -------------------------------------------------------------------------- and plant levels.

4. The mode of ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- with the concerned unions.

5. A wide range of work ----------------------------------------------------------------------- of the councils.

However, a host of constraints ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- on the part of workers

about the scheme, etc., served as stumbling blocks in the successful working of the scheme.

Example-

Page 14: MS-24 JAN JUNE 2016 SOLVED ASSIGNMENT

The organization I am referring is Tata Iron and Steel Company. Since Tata Iron and Steel Company are the pioneers in establishing joint consultation in India, it is worthwhile to look at workers' participation at TISCO.

The Company seeks to ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------of the neighbouring communities.

Closer association of employees with ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------). The specific functions of these three bodies were as follows:

JDCs were “to study operational -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------conditions also fell within their purview.”

JWCs were “ to discharge special function of ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- such as Suggestion Box Committee, Safety Committee, Canteen Managing Committee, etc.”

JCCM was given the task of advising management on production and welfare and also looking at matters referred to by JDCs and JWCs

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to ensure that these committees did not overlap the functions of other committees, separate task groups were formed. Special courses were offered t prepare both management and union representatives to effectively utilize the facility. TISCO's experience with ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- discussed a total of 14,104 suggestions of which 70.3 per cent have been implemented. These suggestions have covered a wide range of topics and issues, but the most important point t remember, perhaps, is that the councils have been successful in involving workers equally in the process of production.

4. Explain the meaning and content of the grievance. Describe the grievance mechanism of an organization you are familiar with. Discuss various approaches of grievance resolution, in your opinion which approach is most effective?

Meaning and content of the grievance

Grievance may be ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------discontentment and dissatisfaction arises. This dissatisfaction must crop up from employment issues and not from personal issues.

Grievance may result from the following factors-

Improper working ---------------------------------------------------- workplace, bad relation with managers, etc. Irrational management ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- salary structure, etc. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- rules and practices

It can be broadly defined as "------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------thinks, believes or even feels as unfair, unjust or inequitable." (Prof. Jucius). This definition predicates that the grievance:

(a)It can be ----------------------------------------------------- employee; (b) It is ------------------------------------------------------------; (c)It is --------------------------------------------------------------------------- baseless, and (d)It must have ---------------------------------------------------------------- relationship. In the modern management --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------are fulfilled. They are normally

- A shared culture - ------------------------------------------- - Scope ---------------------------------------- and - A feeling of ------------------------------------ The organization I aware of is Tata Steel:-

A Fortune 500 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------of its people, its innovative approach and overall conduct.

Tata Steel is of the opinion that people are its greatest asset and has therefore adopted the best practices for its employees.

Grievance Handling Mechanism: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------is not arrived in the previous stage. These are further referred to the Central Works Committee.

A grievance can be of any type ranging from problems regarding promotion to discharge and dismissal, and suspension but it is mandatory that the grievance should be work related and not personal.

Grievances stem from -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------breeding grievances. At Tata Steel, Standing ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------carried out mainly for petty issues. It is an online process and goes by the name of “Sama dhan” The Formal grievance resolution is divided into three stages, with each stage being reached when a solution is not arrived in the previous stage. Responsibilities

1. Employees are responsible for filling up --------------------------------- reasons and submit it to the concerned authority.

2. Sectional Manager/Sr. manager --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- in the form and return it to employee. They are also responsible for taking the appropriate action

3. Head of Department (HOD) is ------------------------------------------------------------------------ employee and

supervisors concerned and return back the form with his remarks to the employees.

Page 16: MS-24 JAN JUNE 2016 SOLVED ASSIGNMENT

4. IR ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- resolution procedure. It is with their assistance that the replies are given back to the employees. They are also the responsible person in Informal grievance resolution --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Samadhan are addresses to the IR managers who need to reply back in stipulated time.

To lodge any -------------------------------------------------------------- grievance/complaint redressal mechanism. Employee log into their account by using the given password for their account, subsequently, they go to the Samdhan web page and log in their query in ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------to resolve the query, system generated mail shall be sending to the IR manager. On expiry of stipulated time and query still not being closed, a mail shall be send to the head of the IR manager who needs to take appropriate action. Eventually, on expiry of 30 days since the time grievance was logged, if the grievance is still open, a mail is send to the Chief IR Steel. In the other way of informal method, the aggrieved employee can directly approach his shift In charge/sectional --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------many employees claim to have acquired during the course of a formal grievance redressal procedure. I think the approach followed by Tata Steel is effective and beneficial for both the workers and the company. Approaches of grievance resolution The role of Human Resource department in grievance handling

Improper working ------------------------------------------------------------ relation with managers, etc. Irrational management policies -------------------------------------------------------------, inappropriate salary structure,

etc. Violation of organizational rules and practices

The manager ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- grievance management is an essential part of personnel management.

The managers should adopt the ---------------------------------------------------- grievance effectively-

Quick action- As soon as the ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- will lower the detrimental effects of grievance on the employees and their performance.

Acknowledging grievance- The -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------a conducive work environment with instances of grievance reduced.

Gathering facts- The ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- grievance’s nature. A record of such facts must be maintained so that these can be used in later stage of grievance redressal.

Examining the causes of grievance- The ----------------------------------------------------------------- remedial actions should be taken to prevent repetition of the grievance.

Decisioning- After identifying ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ management policies and procedure should be analyzed and accordingly decision should be taken by the manager.

Execution and review- The -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------, a follow-up must be there to ensure that the grievance has been resolved completely and adequately.

Page 17: MS-24 JAN JUNE 2016 SOLVED ASSIGNMENT

An effective grievance -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------to express t feelings, discontent and dissatisfaction openly and formally.

In my opinioin best approach of grievance handling is :

Drawing up a grievance procedure

• Involve ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- representatives. • Explain procedures to ----------------------------------------------------- to a copy.

Operating --------------------------------------

• Where ---------------------------------------------------------- with line managers. • Employees should ----------------------------------------------------------------------. • Invite the ---------------------------------------------------------------- may be accompanied. • Give the -------------------------------------------------------------------------- say at the meeting. • Respond in ---------------------------------------------------------------------- right to appeal. Appeals • A more senior manager should, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the appeal and tell the employee if it is the final stage in the grievance procedure. Records • Written records should be kept for future reference.

Write to the ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------delay. In this situation, you may choose to ask the employee for written representation and make a decision in the employee’s absence.

I think interview is the best method for grievance resolution.

5. Explain the impact of specialization, centralization and globalization on new employment relations. Discuss the recent developments in employment relations in an organization you are familiar with. Specialization, centralization and globalization on new employment relations- Some key components of the ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ployers began realizing that this was not the most efficient way to organise production in a high-technology society. For example, General ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------had almost died out by the end of the nineteenth century. Centralization is said to be --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------” is the systematic and consistent reservation of authority at central points in the organization. The implication of centralization can be:-

1. Reservation ------------------------------------------------ at top level.

Page 18: MS-24 JAN JUNE 2016 SOLVED ASSIGNMENT

2. Reservation of ------------------------------------------------- middle level managers.

3. Reservation of ---------------------------------------------------- of the top level.

Under centralization, the --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------and orders of the two people.

Globalisation, generally defined as a conflation of ideas encompassing free flow of international trade, global technology etc. is widely cited as one of --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: moving away from a state of predictable security, in terms of one's tenure in an organisation, to the ever-changing, ever-competing reality of flexible careers. Globalisation obliges ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------are also adopted, namely human resources initiatives, employee involvement programs, teams and quality circles, total quality management etc.

Indisputably, globalisation heralds in a new era in the employment relationship by introducing new opportunities and birthing new innovations. It has also been stated that it contributes to economic growth in developed and developing countries, through increased specialisation and via the principle of comparative advantage. According to the ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------seem, this 'apocalyptic' statement rings true - innovate or perish! An increase in ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------by some as the 'individualisation of the employment relationship'. In a nutshell, the effects of the globalisation phenomenon shape the employee’s perceptions of his employment contract and point him towards the 'self-preservation mode', especially during organisational changes like mergers, acquisitions or downsizing. His mantra: "Should I stay or should I go?" is practically and systematically analysed and often devoid of sentiment. Recent developments in employment relations-

Globalization and increased ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------hours results in heavy losses so forget about days or weeks.

Disinvestment: - it affects IR in following ways:_

It changes ownership--------------------------------- employment but also in trade union (TU) dynamics. It changes the work -------------------------------------- and redeployment. It affects the right of -------------------------------------------------- security, income security, and social security.

Trade unions, mgt and government are responding to these challenges through various types of new, innovative, or model arrangements to deal with different aspects of disinvestment like

Making workers the ------------------------------------------- interests (latter is still not in India)

Negotiating higher -----------------------------------------------------------------

Proposals for setting up new ------------------------------------------------------ skills provisions for redundant workers.

Deregulation: - it is tried to ensure that pubic sector/ government employees receive similar protection as is provided in public/government employment. ----------------------------------------------------------- reduction in pension benefits and an uncertainty concerning future provision of pension benefit due to

The absence of ---------------------------------------- Falling interest rates Investment of ---------------------------------------

Decentralization of IR is seen in terms of the --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------function normally. This weakens the bargaining power of unions.

New actors and the emerging dynamics: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------a back seat. Hence there is ban on bandh and restrictions even on protests and dharnas.

Increasingly Trade unions are getting isolated and see a future for them only by aligning themselves with the interests of the wider society.

Pro-labour-pro-investor policies

This leads to decline in strength ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- civil society institutions otherwise they will find themselves dwindling.

Declining TU density

In government -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. New employment opportunities are shrinking in these sectors.

In the private sectors particularly in service and software sector, the new, young, and female workers are generally less eager to join unions.

Workers ----------------------------------- militancy

Due to -------------------------------

Not because of improved IR ------------------------------------------ about the futility of strikes, and concern to survive their organization for their income survival.

Trade unions have become ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- benefits, Trade unions are pressing for maintenance of existing benefits and protection and claims over non-payment of agreed wages and benefits.

Collective Bargaining

Level of collective bargaining is shrinking day by day.

In India, while ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------evidences that states that had enacted more pro-worker regulations, had lost out on industrial production in general.
