functioning of these organizations depends on upon how people work or be have in the organization The human behavior is caused and highly unpredictable People in organizations need to lead in directions that accomplish organizational goals successfully The human resources of an organization constitute its entire work force Human resources management is responsible for identifying, selecting and inducting the competent people, train them, facilitating and motivating them to perform at the high level of efficiency and providing mechanism to ensure that they maintain their affiliation with their organization Human resources management is also an art of developing people and their potentialities for their personnel and the growth of the organization It is the process of integrating the HR and organization together to ensure that their individual and collective goals are closely aligned People have always been considered as critical factor in an organizational set up Unlike other resources, such as technology, finance, materials, this can be purchased, human resources are critical and it needs to be handled with care Often, organizations are concerned not only about the employees’ productivity but also about the employee commitment and nurturing their capabilities for the maximum utilization and growth Since, which constitute the cornerstone of the organization, HRM assumes central importance in the organization Any decision and/or process of an organization must be implemented by the people In a competitive scenario, it is the ingenuity, zeal, enthusiasm and commitment of its HR that makes all the differences for an organization So, the study of the HRM forms important aspects of the study of any management discipline The concept and practice of employee-employer relationships have also undergone a change over the last decade In the globally competitive economy, efforts to boost productivity and quality are a continuous process To be more responsive, the businesses are increasingly adopting the new approaches to HRM that emphasize on the redistribution of power, greater participation by the individuals, and team work It has been observed that, the only sustainable competitive advantage on organization can have in today’s environment is its people Effective management of human resources is not an issue of survival Therefore, the establishing practices of HRM must also be able to understand and apply innovative techniques successfully in managing human resources In the years ahead, the importance of HRM will become more crucial The large scale production and the contribution of Industrial Revolution in the eighteenth and nineteenth century gave rise to the practice of “Personnel Management”, which started as the voluntary movement in the US and UK Traditionally, the role of HR manager was to maintain the records and administration and act as liaison executive between the employee and employer The HR manager should apply the concept and convert it into practice Recognizing that the human beings are the most important asset in the organization, the term personnel is replaced by the Human Resources Management The development of human resource management is very crucial for quality productivity and growth It is now increasingly used in development functions Preface vi More now than ever, companies today want to deliver products better, faster and cheaper At the same time, in high technology environment of the 21st century, nearly all organizations have found themselves building more and more complex products HR manager is responsible for the human resources in your organization Your continual mission is to seek ways of improving the return on investment in these human assets In

among, governments and the social partners It has also brought with it a number of strategic opportunities, if the parties can take advantage of them, to improve the prospects of enterprises and workers and to position the region for a period of continuing strong economic growth and development into the twenty-first century Labour-management relations policy formulation is one of the significant tasks at the national level, and its successful formulation and implementation can influence the labour relations climate at the industry and enterprise levels Such policy formulation, however, can be formulated not only at the national level through a tripartite process, but also at the industry level on a bipartite basis as between employers’ and workers’ organizations Whether bipartite policy formulation becomes a part of national policy depends largely on the respective strengths of employers’ and workers’ organizations In some of the industrialized market economies there is a greater likelihood than in developing countries of bipartite policy formulations being reflected in national policies due to the strength of the employers’ and workers’ organizations CASE STUDY–1 Industrial Relations Amazon Textiles Amazon Textiles is a textile industry located in the old industrial district of Mumbai The company was established in 1870 and has seen several ups and downs It suffered extensively on account of the export and import policy of British regime, whose main aim was to discourage the growth of the textile industry in India and use the country as a supplier of material for the textile industry in Manchester, UK The promoter of the company, Mr Manoj Birla, was a patriot and was closely associated with the independence movement and its various phases He was a liberal man and had a paternalistic approach towards the employees The growth of trade unions during his period (1870–1930) was minimal, since the trade union leaders were also co-leaders in the independence movement After the demise of Mr Manoj Birla, Mr Sanjay Birla took over as chairman of the company He shifted the focus of the company from pure silk to other categories of textile goods such as cotton, polyester, etc During he process, the modernized the looms and the machinery In order to increase productivity, he did not increase the wages of the employees over a period of one decade, during which the productivity of the company rose by 20% However, the trade union leaders could see through the ploy of chairman and became vociferous and demanding There were two violent agitations and strikes by the two trade unions, who were also supported by the leaders of the independence movement In order to improve his business prospects, Mr Sanjay Birla sided with the Britishers, much to the annoyance of the leaders of the independence movement In order to improve his business prospectus, Mr Sanjay Birla died in an air crash in 1946 At this juncture, Mr Sanjay Birla’s younger brother Mr Yash Birla took over as Chairman of the Company He was the true son of his father and a loyal patriot who strongly supported the independence movement His style of management was paternalistic and caring, and he was proactive in wage revision of the employees The situation was peaceful till the 1970s until Mr Mohan Samant, a powerful trade union leader in Mumbai industrial circles arrived on the scene The latter believed in adopting a confrontationist attitude towards the management, irrespective of whether or not it was just He tried to influence the trade union leaders in the company, but with little success During the mid 1980s, there was a serious crisis in the textile industry and Amazon Textiles was not an exception There was a sharp decline in exports as well as in domestic sales, which led to a sharp drop in profits, and, ultimately, losses over a continuous period of four years The banks and financial institutions refused to refinance the sick company and Mr Yash Birla began to scout for an opportunity to turn around its fortunes At this Labour-Management Relationships 403 juncture, he could foresee that the denim market would expand in a big way over the next 10 years and immediately set up modern textile mills in Ahmedabad to exclusively manufacture branded and generic denim The modern units in Ahmedabad flourished while the sick units in Mumbai could not be turned around since the cost of modernizing them was prohibitive After detailed discussions with the trade unions, Mr Yash Birla convinced them that it was best to close down the sick mills in Mumbai Those desirous were relocated to the new units in Ahmedabad and the option of VRS was given to the other workers QUESTIONS Examine the sociopolitical influence of the growth and development of trade unions on the company Analyze the interrelationship between the approach of the management and trade union activism Do a role-play based on the case study CASE STUDY–2 Industrial Relations Super Spinning Mills Super Spinning Mills Limited was established in 1920 in Coimbatore for manufacturing yarn and supplying it to the cotton mills in and around the city The company was initially founded with limited capacity and over a period of one decade, it grew to become one of the largest yarn mills in Coimbatore The founder of the company, Shri Murali Iyengar, was a follower of Gandhian philosophy and believed in a paternalistic approach towards the employees, because of which there was little scope for grievance But after some time, owing to the influence of politicians and freedom fighters, the trade union movement picked up in Coimbatore Due to pressure from the workers of other units, two trade unions were formed in Super Spinning Mills, one with the support of the communists and the other with the support of the Indian National Congress The leaders of these unions were very keen to increase the membership To so, they began to rouse the anger of the employees against the ‘injustice’ being done to them Shri Iyer, in spite of his best efforts, could not convince the unions to maintain harmonious industrial relations The union leaders, to meet their own selfish ends, started to create industrial unrest on the most minor issues, leading to loss of production There were strikes lasting from five days to one month over a span of two years On each of these occasions, the management took the help of leading freedom fighters for conciliation and arbitration, and were able to reduce industrial unrest QUESTIONS Critically analyze the above case and identify the problems faced by the management Do you think that the management was right in redressing the grievances of the employees? What could have been the best approach of the management towards proactively addressing the industrial unrest? Do you suggest any other approaches for resolving the problems? 404 Human Resources Management CASE STUDY–3 IR Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC), the autonomous body providing public transport services in the state of Andhra Pradesh, was established in the early nineteenth century as a part of the erstwhile United Railways and Road Transport Corporation The company was started by the then Nizam of Hyderabad, with a fleet of around 10 buses in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad In the early 1950s, after independence and the formation of the state of Andhra Pradesh, in independent road transport organization (APSRTC) was set up The corporation is now one of the largest road transport undertakings in the country with a fleet of over 20000 buses and an employee strength of more than one and half lakh The organization has two major trade unions, namely Employees Union (EU) and Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) The corporation has a record of peaceful industrial relations and the elections to the unions lead to one of them coming to power on an alternate basis Liberalization and privatization meant that private road transporters were allowed to operate, leading to severe competition The organization, which has a record of employee welfare, has to compete with the private players, who not adhere to statutory obligations Further, the organization also suffers on account of certain welfare policy measures, which have been announced by the State Government, such as concessional and free bus passes to a certain segment of citizens In addition, it has to pay Motor Vehicle Tax to the State Government at a high rate, leading to serve losses Further, there have also been rumours that the corporation would soon be privatized on account of the accumulated losses The trade unions felt it was their responsibility to safeguard the existence of the corporation For this purpose, they placed the following demands before the management as well as the State Government: ∑ Waive of Motor Vehicle Tax ∑ Provide budgetary support from the State Government to offset the losses on account of concessions being announced by the State Government ∑ Stop privatization/outstanding of private buses, improve maintenance operations, and purchase more buses ∑ Reduce the administrative staff and streamline the purchase procedures Based on these demands, the unions had prolonged discussions with the management However, the management could not respond to the major demands and referred the matter to the State Government The State Government, on account of the severe financial crunch, refused to accept the major demands of the unions, following which the unions went on a strike for 20 days This led to severe losses to the corporation and the government encouraged the private players to run additional services in order to weaken the position of the unions Further, the State Government also persuaded once of the unions to withdraw from the strike, which led to the partial restoration of bus services The employees of the other union put pressure on the union leaders to stop the strike The other union leaders had negotiations with the State Government and agreed to stop the strike on the following conditions: ∑ The management should not initiate any disciplinary action against the employees ∑ Participation in the strike should not be a ground for disqualification from the timely release of increments ∑ The State Government would consider the waiver of the Motor Vehicle Tax and also provide partial budgetary support to the corporation Labour-Management Relationships 405 QUESTIONS Critically analyze the above case study Do you think that the unions were right in going on strike ? What could have been a better strategy adopted by the unions to protect the interest of the corporation ? Do you think the management had any role in preventing industrial unrest REFERENCES 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 Encyclopedia Britanica, Vol 12, London, 1961, p 297 Dale Yoder, Personnel Management and Industrial Relations, pp 5–6 Tead and Metcalfe, Personnel Administration, p Flanders A., Industrial Relations: What is wrong with the system?
