what is meant by adversarial system of labor relations?
352980
The adversarial system, as it is between unions and management, is one in which one party's gain is the other party's loss.  Since parties negotiate for their own best interest, they are essentially "taking" as much as they can from the other party.  Typically, parties come to these negotiations with an adversarial attitude, and that's why things never get done!!

The problem is major major, let me say again MAJOR, propaganda against a union. I used to work for IBM as an engineer (not even affected by a union btw being salaried) and man even if someone was accused of using the 'U' word, they were somehow mysteriously fired.\n\nIf anyone even mentions a union the propaganda KINGS come out in full force. \n\nI wish there would be a massive union spread throughout this country. It would save the good parts of this declining capitalist society.

unrestrained corporate control of society is closer to fascism than economic socialism is. an oligarchy of corporate society is essentially what mussolini defined as a fascist state. you see much more of that working behind the scenes in some western countries than in poorer left wing socialist states that are nationalizing their industires. the fact that people are so ignorant of what the actual meanings of the words they toss around is kinda sad.. do some research- fascism is the establishment of a totalitarian system run by oligarchs, not a socialist system. and there are oligarchs in every country, including the ones we like to call 'free'. some are just better at hiding it than others.

if you enetered into an agreement with a union you will have to live with it, if you keep violating the terms of that aggreement they can file unfair labor practices also bury you in grievances,\nits much easier to just live to what you agreed to,,\nthe union could tie down your labor relations manager and your industrial relations guy,\n\nyou are not clear as to you are in the union or you are company wanting to do away with a union,

The guilds were groups of people with similar values, and standards. They are a lot like what a labor union is today. The gov can't be a gov unless the workers work, and make products and money. So when workers get together, they influence local and national laws, tax rates, and specific groups of people, a lot like todays political parties. The Democrats were actually once all white southern plantation owners, if you can imagine. Almost like a guild themselves.

Yes, it relates to a hostile work environment.

Take the working poor for example. Say you work at Wal-Mart, or even for local factory. Your boss is a business owner. He's looking for ways to pay you less money, cut your benefits, cut back on work safety laws (they keep you from being injured, but cost him money) and ways to end overtime pay. The republican party is the party that's going to help him get these laws passed, while the Democrats are trying to pass laws to protect your wages, benefits, etc. So what does he do come election time? He starts telling his workers that if the Democrats get elected, that there is no way he can stay in business without big layoffs. Even though he's been in business for 70 years, with many Democratic Presidents running the show. Now these working poor are sacred to death of loosing their lively hood, so with the threat of financial ruin, they vote for the republicans. So basically, the republicans use lies & false threats to get elected, the same system they use to start wars.

(1) Misuse of retirement funds.  (2) Unfair picketing or other strike tactics.  (3) Dishonest voting procedures.\n\nOh; were you talking about the government being the bad guys, and not the union?  Sorry.

Wagner act is a law that was inacted in 1935. The NLRB or the National Labor Relations Board, wrote an act that would protect employees rights to unionization. Through the use of secret ballots the NLRB conducts a poll to determine if the workers want a union. this way they are not harrassed or threatend when casting their ballots

Workers are protected under the Labor Laws.  There are standards of work conditions and security of employment.

Looks like 3; national, regional and local (see ref.) Contrary to 1st answer, I think unions are essential to the fair functioning of the capitalist system. However, some regulation is essential to prevent corruption and monopolistic behavior. In other words, parasitic union officials shuld be tossed out, and union wages should not be allowed to become disproportionate with other, similar unionized work. How to do this fairly will no doubt be the subject of endless debate.\nBTW, why is this question in mathematics?

Employee rights are given liberal interpretation under the Labor Laws as against the employers.  Thus, if you have a valid reason, you file a case against your employer because you have more advantages in law.

Keep records of every instance when the union fails to protect its members.\n\nThen call the NLRB (National Labor Relations Board).
