Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book asserts that the labor problem can be alleviated by using the same organization principles that aid in commercial success. It emphasizes that business organization should include a well-defined labor department tasked with managing employee-employer interactions before they become problems. To do so, a department must be established with authority over labor matters, servicing as the first point of contact for employees seeking resolutions. This department should not only focus on issues raised by workers but also investigate corporate practices that are unfair to employees and work to correct them. An internal committee comprised of senior-ranking employees should also be formed to advise the labor department, review serious issues, and provide monthly progress reports. The author stresses that a labor department's function is not to obstruct workers but to administer justice for both the corporation and the employees. By adhering to these guidelines, labor departments can restore the personal connection between employers and employees, resolving issues fairly and promptly to prevent escalation and the loss of productivity that can stem from unresolved disputes.
