The Industrial Relations Climate

What Is Industrial Action? Collectively withdraw labour Refuse to undertake some duties Refuse to carry out reasonable instructions Take part in sit-in, go slow or work to rule Take part in picketing Refuse to cross a picket line

Triggers for Industrial Action Redundancies Pay Negotiations Service reductions/closures Unfair treatment of colleagues New policy Changing working practices

Processess to Manage Industrial Action National- Influence - Communications - Dont localise the issue Local- Core Negotiations Team - Industrial Action Planning Team - Response Team

Pitfalls to watch out for! 1.Business Continuity Planning 2.Internal Communications 3.Reputation Management 4.Picket Line Management 5.Exit Strategy

Business Continuity Planning Identify and manage all risks Ensure critical services delivered Negotiate exemptions Service based BCP’s in place

Internal Communications Managers Employers (unionised and non-unionised) Members Trade Unions

Reputation Management "… This is yet another amateurish negotiating tactic which far from appeasing fire crews has simply hardened our resolve. We are beginning to wonder whether the Council's tactics really are due to their incompetence or whether they are part of a political agenda to deliberately inflame the dispute. …." FBU Hertfordshire Dispute 2006

Picket Line Management Involve the Police Identify boundaries Think carefully about where… Risk assess sites Manage carefully on the day

Exit Strategy Always think through consequences Know what your options are

Key Messages Good ER Climate is critical for organisational stability Risks of industrial action need to be minimised Effective management and planning essential during times of dispute
