Dear Senior,

I have 2 questions regarding the above title.

1. How to handle unions in a large company?
2. How to manage workers in a large MNC where there is no union and there are more than 1000 workers?

These are two interview questions from my last interview in an MNC.

Thanks & Regards,
Manoj

Dear Manoj,

Your question is not specific. However, handling unions depends on situations and conditions. Unions and their members are not aliens; they are our colleagues in the company. HR should treat them as colleagues subject to service regulations or standing orders, etc. Whenever HR comes across any conflict situations, it should be handled properly within the framework of the company policy and statutory regulations. Proper handling comes with experience.

Thank you.

In a unionized as well as non-unionized work atmosphere, problems arise when union/workmen representatives want to exercise their authorities (not duties) and show that they belong to a special class, opposing every decision of the management.

No matter how good words in theory members in this forum suggest, UNION people follow a simple rule - For the Muscle Power, Of the muscle power, By the Muscle Power. For Union Settlement, you have to pay a bribe to Union Leaders just like our Politicians and by now if you are an Indian Citizen you would surely know how big their mouths really are! It is similar to extortion in most cases. And if you fail to settle the issues, you will be inviting bigger Political Whale Sharks to HELP YOU OUT!!!!!....Yes if the UNION is not very strong in numbers, it's a bit easy to handle... Else you had it because for them you are not an employee but MANAGEMENT Itself! I have been a witness to HR Top Brass (VPHR, DIRECTOR HR, etc.) regularly falling sick with viral flu on Important Union Meeting Days... after all, It's only Money and Favours to Union Leaders & Affiliates that ultimately gets the things settled... All the best to you!... Regards
