Impact of Collective Bargaining of Employees –A Study

Abstract

The APSRTC and KSRTC syndicates effectively expanded collective bargaining in a few of quarters while long industrial battles in others. At the core of a lot of these campaigns were job security and employee controls and overtime, low pay, bonus and incentive allowance non-payment, hours of work and leave overtime, adverse working conditions. The challenge to the management prerogative has led to some unexpected employer actions. Collective bargaining as the industrial conflict resolution technique has been examined as a decision parameter for the chosen employees/correspondents; the results provided by the employees show the same passion recorded against age, sex, education, employment income. Finding shows the high to very high effect of the collective bargaining technique as a strategy for resolving industrial disputes across all companies chosen for the research. Although variance occurs, it is micro marginal and insignificant, which indicates the strong effect on all companies chosen for the study of the collective bargaining process.
