67th BPSC Prelims Analysis

Ans. Workers and management must agree on terms and conditions of employment for collective bargaining to succeed.

Ans. There are several ways in which collective bargaining might be put to use. First and foremost, negotiations may take place between a single company and a single union; this is referred to as “single plant bargaining.”. Second, negotiations may occur between a single company with many facilities and the employees working at each facility. This is called “multiple plant bargaining” because employees negotiate with the same company via many unions. The third reason is that instead of each industry’s unions negotiating with their own federation, they work with the employer’s federation on behalf of the whole industry.

Ans. Both sides are involved in the process of collective bargaining. Employers and workers work together to implement a solution. There is no third-party involvement. It’s not a take-it-or-leave-it approach to resolving a problem but rather a give-and-take approach.

Ans. A labour union represents its members in talks with an employer or employers under the premise of industrial democracy. Industrial democracy is a form of governance in which employees have a say in how their wages are spent. In business, the notion of unilateralism has been replaced with the principle of self-governance. Collective bargaining is more than just signing a document awarding benefits like seniority, paid time off, and raises in salary.
