What do labor disputes stem from?
Labor disputes often result from bad communications
between employers and employees, which can induce
labor walk-out.
The poor two-way dialogue would end up the two
parties failing to reach agreement, and most of the
time, about employee desires.
The consequences can be unanticipated, hitting badly
your business and the whole operations.

Labor disputes often come from the failed agreement
between employers and employees on:
Higher pays
Better benefits
Improved job security
Do your employees earn enough to cover their cost of living? Do you
pay a fair, competitive salary given their skills, education and
productivity levels?
Do your workers seize that they will just be dismissed for justified
cause? Does your labor force handbook define your job termination
policies?
What do your workers pay for health care? How thorough are your
benefit offers? What do you feel a fair coverage price is?

you take care of your workers and why they make complaints.
• That so doing would do good to the employee participation
and your business in a long run.

1. Make complementing verbal and non-
verbal messages.
• Like a celebrity, your employees care about just about every of your
moves and acts. Then take care of them.
• Being proven, when a worker gets the verbal message and non-verbal
message at the same time, they often listen to the non-verbal. Then
your saying should be harmonized with your act.

2. Equip your workers the tools they need
for their jobs
If your workers can not finish their jobs due to the lack of appropriate tools or
training, whose is really the fault?
Ensure the proper equipment is readily available prior to
assigning your workers the next tasks.

3. Lead from the background
• If you have a small
business, you can be
an all-in-one
package, managing
all work positions’
performance.
• When your company
comes with large
labor size, you have
better to make proper
authority delegation,
starting from the
background.
• If there arise issues
or problems, you can
step back in for help.

- Meeting your union representatives
on a regular basis will help you
solve working place issues while
they are still not a big deal and easily
manageable.
- The trade union represents the
employees, and they, besides
supervisors and leaders, are the one
with most understanding and sympathy
towards labor demands.
- Especially if your labor size is
substantial, regular meetings with
union representatives will help out a
lot understanding your employees’
current needs and complaints.
- If you keep on canceling upon those
meetings and avoiding union
representatives, for the next time
contract negotiations on the table,
you may become the enemy.

5. Be fair but don’t take the shirt off your back
Sometimes you will be
tempted to agree on all of
the union demands to get
them off your backs. Just
don’t do it.
Provided that you’re
reasonable enough and
comply with guidelines and
rules of collective
bargaining, you don’t need
to give away the farm.
People demand more than what they are willing
to accept is the bargaining nature.
