Questions:
1. What happens if grass-cutters get more than gas cutters?
2. Evaluate the pros and cons of the approach of both the management and union in this incident?
3. List the lesion learnt. Suggest a way out of the problem on hand?
1) The pay has to be related to productivity i.e., the contribution that an employee makes to the value added for the organization. Now, if this present situation is allowed to carry on, the technical staff will revert to methods like slow-down to vent out their feelings. Ultimately, it may happen that management has to increase their salary as well. Hence, no gain is happening in the end for management - what they gained from grass cutters promise is lost to gas cutter under pressure.
2) Due to this ignorance on management part, unions are now divided. Managing one union is easier than two.
3) lesson learnt: keep the economics of labor relation in mind while negotiating - how should we divide the pie depends not only strength of members, but also on how their contribution is and how their competencies are valued. The supply and demand factors would come in picuture.
These are the common sense implications. I am not an expert in IR though.

hi john,
yes - this is a good option. CB can put trust back in both sides.
Also, one can look at performance appraisal based on productivity and competency. That should make the process more transparent and fair to all involved.
thanks

Hi Sangeeta,
thanks for annoncing me the winner. However would like to know your perspective also on the problem given.
My question is:
How does an HR manager decide on the Expatriate Compensation?
What factors would she take into consideration while designing a good pay package for this category of employees?
Thanks
