Honest communication touches the heart directly.
I have seen many organisations bleeding profusely, due to mistrust, non-cooperation and lack of mutual understanding and strengthening. This is basically because of egocentrism and immaturity.
In industrial relations, the management must own the responsibility first, followed by the union leader then the worker, and the government at last.
The personal ego state of the stakeholder individuals can make or mar the desired industrial relations.
A majority of the IR managers and trade union leaders are not aware of the legal, behavioural, business and conceptual aspects of unionisation—labour, productivity, benefits, IR, leadership, role modelling, discipline and business management which is why they have a short time perspective to resolve an issue.
Most of the employers and executives have habitually developed apathy towards unions, trade union leaders and unionisation.
Politics coupled with inflated ego is a deadly combination in any situation and it’s rampant in industrial relations.
Any right can only be demanded in return for duty, and that has to be understood by the employees as well as the management.

These are the raw motives, to overcome which and to develop behavioural compatibility between both the agencies, two measures need to be established—a defined transactional system, and constant interpersonal communication.
Hypocrisy is what is observed these days, in the name of decency and tolerance, and the key source of most IR trouble.
Intolerance grows to the level of incapacity in dealing with the four dimensions of universal phenomenon—need, greed, support and ignorance.
Each individual works to satisfy his own need, greed and ego. Each person plays a role in the company’s fitness and has to be paid for his contribution to the same, proportionately.
When Darwin explored ‘survival of fittest’, the ‘emotional intelligence’ was not a developed subject in the new-world. Now, we are very successfully dodging the growth fitness with our hypocrisy.
IR managers need to align workers and their leaders to productive co-existence at all the levels of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
Industry laws are meant to make us behave right in a social and natural context, but the trouble begins when someone starts behaving in an unsynchronised way.
