INTRODUCTIONEmployee relations are evaluated as strong dealings among higher authorities andemployees at businessplace as it is beneficial in order to complete their targets within desiredtimeframe and for development of positive environment at workplace. The term employeerelations are now evaluated as industrial relations and they are developing strong relationsamong all the union members and collective workforce. Employers should motivate theiremployees in order to execute working by applying various skills and knowledge so that firmswill attain success in operations. If there is healthy relations among employees then it results inestablishing coordination among worker and thus, their goals will be achieved within desiredtimeframe (Ahmad and Shahzad, 2011). British Airways are the leading firm in airline sector andthey are providing services all around with earning high profits from their business operations.The present report is based on development of employee relations in the changing businessorganisations, the types of issues at workplace and methods to resolve the, ideas behindcollective bargaining at work place and the process adopted for negotiation and how employeeswill be participating in these process in order to develop positive environment at work places. TASK 11.1 Unitary and pluralistic framework of referenceEmployee relations are linked with several features of pluralistic and unitary frames ofreferences. Both the perspectives include different views by the help of which positiverelationship can be maintained among the employees at workplace in British Airways. It helps inincreasing the motivation level of staff members.Unitary perspective believes that the decisions are taken by top management only.Authority of decision making is in the hands of single person only, i.e., manager. Thus, top levelauthorities have power to take important decisions for the benefit of their own. Here, the leadershave responsibility to endorse loyalty and peace among employees. If team members of groupworking together in an efficient manner, then it would result in accomplishment of goals andobjectives of firm and in improvement of overall effectiveness of the entity. According tounitary frame of reference, it it presume that the conflicts between the staff members and themanagers are not arise due to different interests. It also believes that the roles played by labourassociation are ineffective. They do not have ability to solve the disputes that are taking place in1
company. Due to these conflicts, British Airways is not able to perform their operations in aproper and systematic way as well as it results in diminishing the overall performance of thefirm. So, it results in the decreased level of satisfaction of its customers. Pluralistic perspective believes that working surroundings is made up of distinct beliefs,behaviour, attitude and values of individual. Employee relation is linked with these differentperspectives of pluralistic frame of references. It defines that managers play a role of mediator. Italso believes that trade unions plays an important role at workplace as they give authority toemployees to take decision in British Airways. By doing concessions and negotiations with themanagement and staff members with the assistance of collective bargaining technique, thestability can be maintained in the relationship of employees (Avey and et. al., 2010).These are the two frameworks of employee relation which is helpful for the firms intaking decisions that whether trade association is beneficial or not for an organisation. 1.2 Influence of changes in trade unionism on employee relations The changes in trade unionism highly impact on employee relation. Trade union consistsof society of workers and leaders of the association comes together to promote interest ofemployees such as positive environment at workplace, benefits, policies, rules etc. The unionnegotiates with the management on behalf of its staff members. The workers joined theseassociations for getting wages as per their performance. Different associations such as, tradeunion congress community and youth worker union have been recognised who carrying out theiroperations in UK. The impact of changes in unionism on relationship of employees have beenrecognized in British Airways. These changes takes place due to variations in macroenvironment factors which are as follows; Changes in technology reduces the need of labours.Because of technological up-gradations, work is done automatically with the help of machines,as a result of it, manual work does not takes place in the firms. In this condition, trade union actsas protectors for workers. They protect them from being retrenched. This hampers therelationship between organisations and union members. Workers stops production process byadopting several practices such as strikes, relays, lockout etc. It hinders the productivity andgrowth of the firm. The implementation of laws and regulations in the economy influenceemployee relation. For example, Government introduced a policy related to giving equalopportunities to the staff members, then it creates conflicts between the trade unions andemployer. This condition arise if the policies implemented by higher authorities are not followed2
