You've covered HRs role in evaluating a job to help ensure an organization is offering its employees competitive rates. You also learned the importance of equal and fair pay as well as the legal implications. (Legal Pay Act).
Why is it that even in the 21st century organizations continue to struggle with the concept of equal pay?
What can an organization do to alleviate the perception that employees are not being paid equally?
How has social media sites like Glassdoor and Indeed made pay transparency within an organization even more important today?
Part 2 - Identify Reason for Employee Relations and Third-Party Organizations
We've reviewed employee relations and the responsibility of the HR professional. You learned that labor unions are usually formed or joined with the goal of representing the collective interests of employees regarding wages, hours, and various working conditions. A company would prefer to resolve employee concerns and maintain a union free environment.
Complete the following:
Research and identify a company that has recently experienced a pay strike (where a union was involved). How was the union involved? Summarize why employees felt they were not being compensated fairly. How long did the strike last? (Write between 250 - 500words).
