labor relations presentation 13

Hi Class,

Employees are what drives a thriving and successful company, you could have the best product in the world; however, the staff that drives creating the product and marketing it is what makes the product successful. If the staff is happy and rewarded for their hard work and efforts then the company thrives and there a large scale of profitability that is created from sales of the products. When employee relations is bad and the staff is over worked and under paid, companies usually see loss and deteriating of sales and profits.

Unions are a very key component in companies present day: many companies require you to join a union if you are to work at their establishment. Unions bring employee questions and concerns to the employer and in many cases those demands are met. In cases where unions aren’t allowed or given as an options many people starting rioting, such as teachers and factory workers. Int this cases usually demanrds aren’t met since those employees need work and will go back to work usually the day after they riot. Overall, unions and employee satisfaction go hand in hand, happy employee results in a profitable company

I believe that unions are still relevant today as they were in the past. A couple of things that labor unions try to achieve are increasing wages, making sure that working conditions are safe, and gaining more benefits for employees and their families. Unions play a critical role within the workforce for the quality of life of the union member and provide representation for fair treatment within the workplace. Some issues in the past included child labor, unlivable wages, and sweatshop conditions. The profitability within the company is brought on by staying focused in the work. This is the result of continuous training that may be costly and taken from project margins. To make a company competitive, money must be spent to make sure that the employees are trained to do the job at the best of their ability to produce the profit for the company. There are other methods of getting this accomplished such as events and seminars that will allow employees to gain the knowledge needed to stay competitive. When a company can stay competitive, there is a morale boost and the work performance of the employees are increased.
