Employee Relations Study + Internship in London: London South Bank University Program Fall 2019 Semester

The unit is focused on the study of the major processes, systems, and actors involved in the management of individual and collective aspects of the employment relationship. It interprets features of the employment relationship, such as different forms of participation, bargaining and conflict resolution, and the determination of reward systems. It analyses the part played by management, trade unions, and the state in constructing and operating a stable system of employment relations, within social, political, legal and economic contexts. It also discusses the declining membership and power of trade unions, and the growth of non-unionism. This provides an important prerequisite for decision making about people at work which is an essential part of any managerial role
