Study of Industrial Relations: Labor Union, Work Agreement and Bipartit

The demonstration on May 1 was a sign of industrial relations problems. Therefore, all involved parties (Company, Labor Union, Bipartit and Governance) must enforce the rules of employment agreements as stipulated in the labor law. Explicitly, this study aims to describe and analyze the extent industrial relation has been built. The research approach uses qualitative methods, in this case the law study. The results of the study confirm: 1) The law as a legally has clearly regulated employment. 2) The company has not been optimal in carrying out the mandate of the law. 3) The function of the employee union has not been optimal as an employee representative. 4) Government functions are not yet rea

Senate Bill 198: Impact and Effectiveness on Workers\u27 Health and Safety

In 1989 the California Legislature passed and the Governor signed SB 198, the most significant piece of Occupational Safety and Health legislation since the enactment of the OSHA Act. SB 198 shifts the focus of state policy in workplace safety and health to prevention. The changes weave the prevention approach into every aspect of CalOSHA: Standard enforcement sanctions; the use of data; and the providing of education information and technical assistance to employers. On July 1, 1991, regulations became effective implementing the part of this bill requiring employers to establish, implement and maintain worksite injury prevention programs. Based on preliminary data, it appears that most companies are devoting more attention to safety and health. However, not enough time has lapsed to properly assess the impact of SB 198 in terms of lower accident statistics or higher business costs. In order to carry out its oversight responsibilities, the Senate Committee on Industrial Relations desired to obtain additional information as to SB 198\u27s impact and effectiveness. To this end a questionnaire was forwarded to knowledgeable parties for their response.

Uniform system of accounts for class D telephone companies

There follows a classification of accounts which the Court of Industrial Relations has prescribed for the use of telephone utilities whose average annual operating revenues amount to $3,000 and not over$10,000. There is also contained herein a suggested plan for the bookkeeping that will conform to the classification. This plan of bookkeeping is only suggested, and any telephone utility may follow its own wishes as to the recording of the transactions, so long as the accounts that are prescribed herein are properly kept. Utilities now using a subscribers\u27 ledger, subscribers\u27 tickets, checks, etc., that are satisfactory may continue to use them instead of those suggested herein

Industrial Relations System Transformation

This paper analyzes the concept of “transformation” that many allege has occurred recently in a wide variety of national industrial relations systems. After a summary of the debate, with particular reference to the contentious case of Germany, the authors attempt to develop a definition of industrial relations system transformation on the basis of biological analogies and, in particular, the “punctuated equilibrium” theory. They examine the cases of the United States, Sweden, South Africa, and New Zealand, and conclude that the application of the biological frameworks raises a set of fundamental questions that must be addressed in order for the debate over the existence of industrial relations transformation to move forward

Are Good Industrial Relations Good for the Economy?

Using international data, we investigate whether the quality of industrial relations matters for the macro economy. We measure industrial relations inversely by strikes Ð which proxy we cross-check with an industrial relations reputation indicator Ð and our macro performance indicator is the unemployment rate. Independent of the role of other institutions, good industrial relations do seem to matter: greater strike volume is associated with higher unemployment. But these results apply in cross section. Holding country effects constant, the sign of the strikes coefficient is abruptly reversed. Although it does not seem to be the case that the line of causation runs from unemployment to strikes once we control for the endogeneity of strikes, it is also the case that support for the strikes proxy for industrial relations quality is much eroded.strikes, industrial relations quality, unemployment, labor market institutions, cross-country data
