Download or read book Managing the Union Shop written by Phillip Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a manager or supervisor in a unionized company, you have a unique job. Besides your normal day-to-day responsibilities, you also must know about unions and basic labor law. You can be the best manager in the world, but without a solid knowledge of the rules and responsibilities in a union shop you can get yourself, and your company, into a lot of trouble. That is the purpose of this book - to give you the background you need to be an effective manager in a unionized environment.This book walks you through some of the major things you'll need to know about unions to be a good manager or supervisor. By the way, from now on I will refer to management or supervisory employees generically as "managers." No matter what your actual title, all of you share the same job: to manage labor relations in a way that lets your company accomplish its goals with a minimum of trouble from the union.You'll notice that this isn't like most books you've seen on how to be a good manager. First, it looks like a labor contract! For years most contracts have been published as small books, designed to fit in a union steward's shirt pocket. Why? Not just to make it hard to read - although sometimes the fine print can be tough to decipher. No, the reason it is small is so it is portable. Stewards want the contract with them at all times, in case they need it to dispute something that pops up.We've designed this book the same way - you can put it in your pocket and carry it with you. It even has some blank pages in the back so you can use it to take notes. The idea is not for this book to be read once and then thrown in a desk, never to see the light of day. It is a book you can actually use.

Download or read book What Unions No Longer Do written by Jake Rosenfeld and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From workers' wages to presidential elections, labor unions once exerted tremendous clout in American life. In the immediate post-World War II era, one in three workers belonged to a union. The fraction now is close to one in five, and just one in ten in the private sector. The only thing big about Big Labor today is the scope of its problems. While many studies have explained the causes of this decline, What Unions No Longer Do shows the broad repercussions of labor's collapse for the American economy and polity. Organized labor was not just a minor player during the middle decades of the twentieth century, Jake Rosenfeld asserts. For generations it was the core institution fighting for economic and political equality in the United States. Unions leveraged their bargaining power to deliver benefits to workers while shaping cultural understandings of fairness in the workplace. What Unions No Longer Do details the consequences of labor's decline, including poorer working conditions, less economic assimilation for immigrants, and wage stagnation among African-Americans. In short, unions are no longer instrumental in combating inequality in our economy and our politics, resulting in a sharp decline in the prospects of American workers and their families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Justice in the U.S. nonunion workplace operates within the tenets of employment-at-will. Based on the late nineteenth century Woods rule, this concept led courts to recognize the right of an employer to fire a worker at any time, for any reason. Fortunately for nonunion workers, a workplace justice system has evolved that provides them some recourse when they have been let go without just cause. This is a complex and not widely understood system, but now there is a book that clarifies its workings and compares its effectiveness and fairness to a variety of other workplace justice systems.

Download or read book Labour Management written by Dewan & Sudarshan and published by Discovery Publishing House. This book was released on 1996 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a somewhat bewildering fact that, while citizens and employees generally recognize the importance of studying labour-management relations, many managers do not. Instead, managers often asset that they are too busy with other business problems to think about labour relations. But this is simply foolishness, for a major part of any managers job involves supervision of other people, and the firm s employees as a group are often the largest single cost factor in its operations. The work of this book series is the collaborative effort of many outstanding people in the management field. The motivation for this book varied from individual to individual, but the central motivation that united us all was the excitement of capturing the management state-of-the-art and sharing it with colleagues in the dynamic profession of management. Contents: The Significance of Labour Management Relations, Worker Participation, The Work Situation: Incidence of Strikes, Role of Trade Unions in Society, The Impact of Labour Relations, Industrial Relations and Mobility of Labour, The Future of Labour Management Relations.
Download or read book Are Trade Unions Still Relevant written by Dr Tom Turner and published by Orpen Press. This book was released on 2013-05-24 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection examines the relevance of trade unions 100 years on from the 1913 Lockout in Dublin. The general argument underpinning the papers in this book is that trade unions are still relevant in the 21st century, since they provide an independent collective representation for workers and address the power imbalance between the worker and employer. All of the chapter authors are based at the Department of Personnel and Employment Relations, Kemmy Business School, University of Limerick. The chapters are grouped under three broad headings: The demand for trade unions in the 21st century; partnership at work and the legal context of union recognition; and case studies dealing with union organising and recognition campaigns This book provides a focus on an area not covered in any detailed way by any comparable text book.It will be of interest to undergraduates and postgraduates in the area of employment relations and to practioners such as trade union officials and human resource managers.In addition it will be of interest to a wider body of academics internationally who wish to understand trade unions in Ireland for comparative purposes.
Download or read book Beyond Unions and Collective Bargaining written by Leo Troy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to provide a comprehensive examination of nonunion industrial relations -- its definition and parameters, and the causes and factors that led to the nonunion reality. Beyond Unions and Collective Bargaining focuses on labor relations in the private -- sector labor market, which accounted for about 90% of the sector at the end of 1999. Troy discusses with clarity and authority the transformation in the United States from the organized to the private labor market. Within a two-part format, Troy first deals with the manifold historical conditions that set the stage for the competitive nonunion alternative and then addresses the all-important question, "What makes the nonunion system work?"
Download or read book The Economics of Trade Unions written by Hristos Doucouliagos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard B. Freeman and James L. Medoff’s now classic 1984 book What Do Unions Do? stimulated an enormous theoretical and empirical literature on the economic impact of trade unions. Trade unions continue to be a significant feature of many labor markets, particularly in developing countries, and issues of labor market regulations and labor institutions remain critically important to researchers and policy makers. The relations between unions and management can range between cooperation and conflict; unions have powerful offsetting wage and non-wage effects that economists and other social scientists have long debated. Do the benefits of unionism exceed the costs to the economy and society writ large, or do the costs exceed the benefits? The Economics of Trade Unions offers the first comprehensive review, analysis and evaluation of the empirical literature on the microeconomic effects of trade unions using the tools of meta-regression analysis to identify and quantify the economic impact of trade unions, as well as to correct research design faults, the effects of selection bias and model misspecification. This volume makes use of a unique dataset of hundreds of empirical studies and their reported estimates of the microeconomic impact of trade unions. Written by three authors who have been at the forefront of this research field (including the co-author of the original volume, What Do Unions Do?), this book offers an overview of a subject that is of huge importance to scholars of labor economics, industrial and employee relations, and human resource management, as well as those with an interest in meta-analysis.
