The law of nature:

Why should we care?
Management’s perspective:
- uncomfortable conditions among other employees
- effects working performance
At the end of the day, will effect the company’s
performance
Law’s perspective:
- will lead to disputes that will cost the company’s a
bundle, in terms of image, time, energy, and money
Complaint classifications:
1. Grievance:
Any complaint arising as a result of different
implementation or interpretation toward the company’s
regulation or labor law;
Any complaint alleging a violation of the terms of a
company’s regulation or labor law
2. Gripes: any complaint arising from any dissatisfaction
that is not against company’s regulation nor labor law
4
What’s our next step?
Grievance: No choice nor compromise, adjustment to
comply with the law. But be careful when grievance
comes out as a result of different implementation or
interpretation toward the company’s regulation or
labor law.

• Before the strike: proactive. Avoiding a
circumstance where a strike action becomes
necessary is the optimum for all concerned. A
negotiated good faith agreement normally
resolves workplace issues from both employer
and unions perspectives.
• During the strike: be ready to provide support.
• After the strike: Bring Everyone together again.
Whether the strike is perceived as a ‘win’ or
‘lose’, by either management or the union, both
managers and employees will still need to work
together.
Lockout
Lockout is a fundamental right of employers to
reject the workers/laborers either in part or in
whole from performing work as a result from
failed negotiation

Lockout… -%
• A lockout is temporary in nature and can
be ended when the dispute has been
resolved, or an agreement has been
reached to stop the lockout.
• Refusing entry to workers/laborers does
not constitute or is meant as an action to
terminate the work relationship.
• In the case of lockouts that are out legally,
wages are not required to be paid.
