The holiday season comes early for U.S. labor: What to expect from America’s unions and why?

By Brian McArthur In 2012 Barack Obama won a decisive victory for control of the White House against his Republican challenger Mitt Romney. The President’s friend and political ally, Richard Trumka, organized a massive labor offensive that put more than $400 million in the hands of the Democratic party to get the President re-elected.

Will the labor movement insist the President re-introduce The Employee Free Choice Act knowing that a Republican controlled House of Representatives (Congress) will undoubtedly reject the Bill as they had in 2009? With the President’s solid support of labor’s overarching objectives, will there be a renewed confidence to engage in aggressive collective bargaining activities and, as such, will that lead to more labor disputes in the future? What about union organizing activities? Will labor use the President’s re-election as a catalyst to secure organizing victories to increase the extremely low union density rate? This article argues that the labor movement will be on the offensive over the next four years and will, with the support of the White House, aggressively pursue long sought after policies that they claim will benefit American workers Full Read Click Here

Human Resources Management –The Unsung Moderators of a Company

An organization is a place where the different departments work together to achieve the common goal of bringing profits. From the recent past, it has been seen that, one area which has seen a see change in terms of growth and practices is human resources management. Till recently, it was a department which was only considered to be concentrated over the smooth functioning of production and operations. However, coupled with other functions, their main job revolved around finding contingency measures to avoid strikes and sort out any kind of conflict that might be envisioned between the labors and the management. Added further the appraisals and compensation issues were the main issues that formed main part of the human resources employee relations.

Well in times of today the demographics of human resources management has completely changed. The company employee is not just a person giving his services for the pay that is given to him but it is a skill set which needs to be kept happy to give the company the best services. There are times that you have to deal very softly and at the same time professionally to get the managements point across to the employee. This is the reason it is said that human resources employee relations walk a very thin line. After all at the end of the day a happy and satisfied employee is what everyone aims to have as it turns into higher work output.

Human resources consulting and management begins right from the time a prospective employee comes to give his resume for a job in an organization. The short listing, sorting of resumes begins here where the HR of the company sorts the resume as per the requirement of the company. The interviews with the departments and heads are then scheduled by the HR. After finalization of the employee, then comes deciding the package and the remuneration that the employee will be paid. This all is finalized by the HR in discussion with the management. Not only this, the HR is responsible to finalize the appraisals of employees as the time arises.

This also gives him a chance to preview the future that he might have in the company and the HR has to make sure that the employee is comfortable in the organization.
