IR is grounded in mutual co-operation, individual
treatment, team work and shared goals.
Union co-operate with the mgt. & the mgt.’s right to
manage is accepted because there is no ‘ we they feeling’
Assumption: Common interest & promotion of harmony
No strikes are there.
It’s a reactive IR strategy.
They seek direct negotiations with employees.
. Unitary Approac
-

. Pluralistic Approac
It perceives:
• Org. as a coalitions of competing interest.
• TU as legitimate representatives of employeeinterests.
• Stability in IR as the product of concessions andcompromises between mgt. & unions.
Conflict between Mgt. and workers is understood as
inevitable. Conflict is viewed as conducive for innovation andgrowth.
Strong union is necessary.

/. 0ar$ist Approac
Regard conflict as Pluralists…
Marxists see conflict as a product of the capitalist society.
Conflict arises due to the division in the society between those who
own resources and those who have only labor to offer.
For Marxist all strikes are political.
He regard state intervention via legislation & the creation of Industrial
tribunals as supporting mgt’s interest rather than ensuring a balance
between the competing groups.
