Employment relations

1.0 INTRODUCTION



It is inevitable that conflict will occur in an employment relationship. The term conflict refers to differences in opinion, resulting in some form of hostility and resistance. In an organization, the employment relationship is the relations between employers and employees, although this may seem simplistic, there are many properties to look deep into to understand the conflicts that may occur in a business.
There are three dimensions that directly relate to employment relationship; economic, legal and social dimensions. Once these three dimensions are established, problems will without doubt rise in an organization. The roles of trade unions are to improve economic and working conditions for employees, provide security for employees, provide services to members, affiliations and political aims. If conflict is to become out of hand or becomes critical for the economy, the state will help solve the conflict in the best possible way.
