Description

PART 1

Collective bargaining refers to the process of negotiating the terms of employment between an employer and employees. This process occurs between company management and a labor union. The result of collective bargaining is called a collective bargaining agreement. This establishes terms of employment for a number of years. Terms of employment include conditions of employment, work hours, working conditions, base pay, overtime pay, work hours, shift length, work holidays, sick leave, health care benefits, vacation time, and retirement benefits. Members of the union pay union dues for representation. Should management and labor not reach an agreement, the collective bargaining process may result in labor strikes.

Private Sector

Collective bargaining in the private sector is regulated according to the National Labor Relations Act. In addition to describing fair labor practices, this Act also appointed the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) as the federal agency responsible for enforcing its provisions.

Non-profit Sector

The NLRB also has jurisdiction over most nonprofit organizations, as long as they meet or exceed a certain amount of revenue annually. However, some religious schools are exempted from coverage if the practice of their faith is sufficiently intertwined in the practice of the school.

Public Sector

Collective bargaining in the public sector is governed by the Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA) for federal government employees and by statues in individual states for state and local government employees. The CSRA covers all federal employees within the executive branch, except those that have been specifically excluded. The rights of federal government employees are more limited than those of private or nonprofit sector union members. For example, federal employees are not allowed to strike and cannot bargain over issues such as wages and fringe benefits. The rights of state and local government employees vary widely, based on the state. This spectrum of rights ranges from states that allow government employees to engage in collective bargaining to those that do not recognize that government employees have the right to join a union.

assignment

In the public sector, things look very different from other fields; e.g. won’t get a federal HR person to do an interview; different rules. For HR in the federal government, OPM dictates. We have our own HR people but have an overarching oversight agency. A lot of people don’t know this is how it functions.

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING

Collective Bargaining

Part One
Unions ensure that the plight of their member employees is taken care of by the
employers through effective collective bargaining agreements. Collective bargaining agreements
safeguard the wellness of employees in terms of adequate remuneration, appropriate working
schedules, over-time compensation, employee protections, and other labor-related issues.
Why did you make the choices you did in the above scenario?
Because of the emergency of the matter, it is important first to implement the telework
program because the collective bargaining agreement provides provision for such a decision and
later consult the union to initiate a post-implementation bargaining initiative. This ensures that
the organizational program shall not come to a halt as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is
important to make the most feasible decision in running the contemporary organization to avoid
setbacks. Implementing the telework program will ensure that the organization's day-to-day
activities are progressing to achieve organizational goals.
Would you rather have chosen a different path? How so?
There was the option to initiate negotiations with the union before implementing the
telework program. This approach would delay the day-to-day operation for the organization
leading to missed organizational objectives.
What recommendation would you make to the negotiating parties on how to foster TM
within agreements?
I would ensure effective communication between the negotiating parties to ensure that the
benefits and the agreement are stipulated and understood b both parties. Effective
communication ensures that the right information is passed on and that everyone is aware of
