groups toward an end of specific goal

 Unionism – the principle of
combination for unity of purpose and
action
A labour union is a formal union
of employees/workers that deals
with employers, representing
workers in their persuit of justice
and fairness and in their fight for
their collective or common
interest
Employees or workers
unionize because of
financial needs, unfair
managements practices,
or social and leadership
concerns.
 A. Financial needs – complaints regarding wages or
salaries and benefits given to them by the management
are the usual reason why employees join labor union
 B.Unfair management practices – perceptions of
employees regarding unfair or blased managerial actions
are also reasons why they join mass movements; examples
of lack fairness in management are favoritism related to
promotion and giving of training opportunities and
exemption from disciplinary action
 C. Social leadership concerns – some join unions for the
satisfaction of their need for affiliation with a group and
for the prestige associated with coworkers recognition of
one’s leadership qualities
Terry Mosser, an expert
union organizer, was
credited by Snell and
Boh-lander(2011)for the
following union-
organazing step
 Step 1 - Employee/union contact-To
explore unioniziation possobilities,
employees weigh the advantages and
diasadvadtages of eeking labour
representation while the union
representation while the union officers
gather more data about the employees
complaints, as well as data about the
employers’s management style,
financial stability, policies, etc.
 Step 2- Initial Organizational
Meeting – This is conducted to
attract more supporters and select
potential leaders among the

Collective
Agreement
 A. Prepare for negotiations – Data to
support bargaining proposals are collected
and arranged in an orderly manner by both
parties – the union and the union and the
employer’s group.
 B. Develop strategies – Management
proposals aare developed and limits of
concencions are determined, while also
considering the union’s goals and their
possible strike plans.The unions on the
other hand tries to develop better strategies
to convince the management group to
accept it’s proposal
 Step 3 – Formation of in-house
organazing committee-This start with
identification of employee who are
ready to act as leader in campagning for
their goals, in trying to get the interest
of the other employees to join their
movements, and in convincing
employees to sign an authorized card
to show to show their willingness to be
represented by a labor union in
collective beginning with their
employer.
 Step 4 – If a sufficient number of employees support
the union movements the organazer request for a
representation election or certification election – A
representation petition is filled with the NLRC asking
for the holding of a secret ballot election, to determine
the employee’s desire for unionization.

 Step 5 – End of union organazing – When the

sufficient number of votes is garnered, the NLRC
certifies the union as the legal bargaining
representative of the employees. Contract negotations
or collective bargaining agrreement (CBA) negotations
follow the certifications. The CBA process nvolves the
following procedure:
 C. Conduct negotiations – this consist of
bargaining, analazyng proposal, resolving
issues related to the proposal and
remembering to stay within their
respective bargaining zone. If no
agreement is reached at this point, a
deadlock may result.

 D. Formulize agrrement – after the

negotiation process, the union and
management group have to formalize their
agreement.
The grievance procedure is a
formal procedure that
authorizes the union to
represent its members in
processing a grievance or
complaint.
