INTRODUCTIONEmployee relation is referred to as the body of work that is deals with maintenance of therelationship among employee and employer. This has greater contribution towards thesatisfactory production, motivation as well as morale. It is linked with the kind of relation thatoccurs among the staff members as well as organization (Bhatnagar, 2007). In the present studyemployee relation has been discussed in context of Sainsbury. The report entails to understandthe context of employee relation against the changing background. Further it coversunderstanding on the nature of the industrial conflict and its resolution. The present studyincludes understanding on collective bargaining as well as procedure relating with negotiation.TASK 1 UNDERSTANDING THE CONTEXT OF EMPLOYEE’S RELATIONS AGAINST CHANGING BACKGROUND1.1 Explaining unitary and pluralistic frames of referencesIn order to gain insight to the relationship among employees various techniques likeunitary as well as pluralistic frame of references have been used. These difference to a greaterextent from one another (Blyton and Turnbull, 2004). Both the approaches dependents on variedviews and thoughts. Further they have linked with the association that is present among theemployees that are performing in Sainsbury. With this business can effectively manage itsemployees. Thus, it assists in carrying out welfare activities within the firm to a significant level.In accordance with unitary approach the power existing among employee relation for takingimperative decision in within the hands of the person who is performing at higher level that ismanagement of firm.

Moreover, it can be stated that the role of trade unions is inappropriate. Further theydo not offer assistance at the time of conflict.3

In contrast to this pluralistic approach is different and it relies on the belief that place ofwork is being devised of several values, attitude and behavior.
