Nature of every human being differ so a big corporation cannot adoptdifferent approach for every worker. But, there are few popular perspective of handlingrelationship with employees which can be adopted by an organisation. They are mentionedbelow:Unitary perspective – This approach assume that employee, employer or government getbenefits when all of them focus on attaining common interest. Shared goals, team work arecrucial part of this perspective (Mittal and Dhar, 2015).

organisation who chose their own leader and have own goals and interest. Salary and taxation areconsidered as key reason behind conflicts in an enterprise. Employers do not like to give moreremuneration to workers because they feel that they are owners & risk takers and they deservemore part of profit (Avery, Smillie and Fife-Schaw, 2015). Employee, on the other hand, feelthat they deserve more part in profit because they think that they can earn more at other place.Trade unions are considered as biggest support in this approach. They are known forrepresenting the side of employee. Marxist perspective – It is also known by the name of radical perspective because it isvery different from above two approach.

Karl Marx was against capitalist economy and heargued that this form of economy will increase the different in income level of rich and poorpeople. Other thinkers also supporter his views and they suggested that workers should also beincluded in decision making process. 1.2 Impact of changes in trade unionism on employee relation in UKTrade unions were very powerful in 19th century because judiciary system of UK cameinto their support. Government understand that these unions raise voice of employees and if theywill not get power from the side of law then they will have no important in-front of theiremployer (Lee and Kim, 2016). When trade unions got more power then they started using it in anegative way. United Kingdom saw many cases where trade unions blackmailed employer bymisusing regulations. This was a time when employee relations were not in a good conditionbecause government made law for equally distributing power but it backfired by increasing morenumber of protests from the side of workers. The concept of trade unionism was evolved so that relationship between employees andemployer get better. The relationship between trade unions and employers were never perfect butthey were in very bad condition in the early years of 1900. Trade unions were going throughmany changes in this period and with time, employees relation were getting more and moreweak. When government made a law for registering trade unions then it was seen as a positivechange but misuse of power projected their wrong image and their important started going downfrom 1970-80s.
