The Development of Labor Relations and Collective Bargaining in the United States
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing the development of labor relations and collective bargaining in the United States. Collective bargaining was made possible by progressive labor relation acts which were passed beginning in the 1930s. These acts allowed for employees to bargain with their employers in regards to work conditions, job security and discrimination issues without fear of persecution by the employer, previously unheard of. With the development of the National Labor Relations Act (1935), the Taft-Hartley Act (1947), and the Landrum-Griffin Act (1959), employees were given more and more legislated support in regards to negotiations and employee rights in addition to seeing a large increase in the number of labor unions formed. After a slight downturn in the economy in the 1970s, management and the federal government were interested in an increase in employee participation in increased production and ideas in order to compete on a national and global scale. The Collective Bargaining Forum was formed in 1984 to allow unions and management to formulate guidelines which would facilitate the collective bargaining processes for the betterment of the companies overall through cooperation between the two groups. Collective bargaining was well maintained for several decades before the recent development of more aggressive negotiations which have resulted in unions threatening strikes during negotiations while management has returned with threats of replacement workers and plant closings. Critics believe that in order to overcome another downturn in the economy and the loss of the momentum of competition, the cooperative spirit which founded the initial collective bargaining agreements must be rediscovered for the betterment of all concerned.

The Differential Strike Patterns of Korea and France
[ send me this paper ]
Sonn (1997) calls Korea a late bloomer in the area of labour strikes, so it is particularly interesting that Korea labour is beginning to join the capitalist based globalisation movement to adopt flexible modern strike models, when France, the originator of the revolution, the striking of labour against the central government for better working conditions and better pay has also only recently moved in this direction. Most countries, belatedly France and Korea, have modernized their outdated labour laws. Yet, Korea is just beginning to experience what France has practiced since the 1700s, the recognition of and cooperation inherent among a working class. Until the last decade, both North and South Korea had been corporatist. Therefore, their labour patterns are undergoing the biggest, and quickest changes in the modern world. 7 references. jvKorFra.rtf
