Discussion:
The workers should be allowed to strike but they should give a notice of at least 14 days before
going on a strike. This will prepare the management for the strike and cessation of work and
they can look for alternative or they can think about the demands of the workers for which they
are going on strike. Also, the notice will make the strike legal otherwise, anyone would go to
strike and they will ask for irrelevant and unreasonable things from the management.
Permanent strike replacements should not be allowed because this would destroy the good
relationships that the companies have developed with the employees. Also, the people have
experience and if they are replaced, the new people have to be trained again. But, if the strike is
unfair and unreasonable, then the permanent replacements should be allowed because the
existing workers are trying to harm the company and they won’t be beneficial in the future.
The third party dispute resolution procedures are required because expert advice is needed for
some cases and the negotiation fails many times. Third party will focus on the win-win situation
and it will be neutral towards both the parties. The disputes will be resolved without harm and
botheration. Also, a fair and unbiased decision will be guaranteed.
This plan will be sold to the other parties by convincing them about the benefits of this plan, by
showing them the usefulness of the plan to the company and by making them believe in risk
reduction due to this plan.
