PART 1
1.1 Implications of each of the perspectives for handling employment relations
This is involve a relationship between employees, employers, government and industrial
union of a organisation. It include three different perspectives as unitarist, pluralist, Marxist at a
workplace and explain employers behaviour/engagement, role of union and job regulation etc.
Unitarist Perspective-
This is based on a particular relationship between organisation's workers for a familiar
purpose. In this, management and employers are working together to achieve a common
objective with a specific strategy. It seems a lot of implication at a same time like constantly
employers and mentors are not agreed on a particular discussion and it seems like differences
and discomfort with working together. This perceptive helps to reduce and control these type of
conflict from the firm (Armstrong, Brown and Reilly, 2011).
Pluralist Perceptive-
This approach is being made powerful groups of management and organised labour. It
shows anxiety and displeasure between owner and employers over the distribution of profit and
other income norms. Conclusion of the topic explain managements less interest towards their
workers and disco-ordination between them. Trade union play a good role and shows their

responsibility approaching for business and others. Use of the preceptive is to solve their
differences and settling disputes with a particular agreement on which they both are agreed.
Marxist preceptive-
This approach is used to maintain a relationship between industries and social factors
includes their employers and trade union etc. Their disputes are directly affect on organisation in
a negative way. Assumption of this approach says that these issues are unavoidable and their
conflicts are directly impact on industrial and employees relation. Relationship between
employers and employees can never be completed without each other for example employees
can not survive for along time without labour and employer also cannot without works. (Bach
and Kessler 2011)

In an organisation when workers made up a membership to protect their aims and interest
at workplace. They are work for identify and get common interest or objectives of all the
members, and for develop a close working relationship with their employers. These type of
unions helps to maintains good working environment and resolve workers issue to concern with
their heads. This basically work as a communication medium between seniors to juniors. First
when trade unions are introduced, they were working for employer's welfare but these are
forming with political issues in an organisation. The role of trade unions are-
Negotiation agreement between management and employers- When a individual
starts to work with a firm they needs some benefits as well as management also expect
something from them and also providing some benefits on its behalf, so for this trade unions
works to maintain a agreement for employer's benefits, rebates and compensation etc. (Clarke
2011) This agreement is signed by owners and employers. Negotiation is a term of win-win
situation because in it both parties are sacrifices something in their terms and condition in the
regards with some adjustments after that reach on a mutual empathetic on which they both are
agreed.
For provide legal and financial advice to workers– This type of unions are provides
their services in legal and financial terms. In legal factors it involves employers right and
authority towards the organisation as well as organisation's right for their workers. Financial
