FAQ
Labor relations is a sub-function of the human resources umbrella that is focused on preventing and resolving employee-related problems, usually with regard to employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement or union contract.
The five things you should know about the act are: (1) it provides for the establishment of labour unions; (2) it regulates collective bargaining; (3) it protects workers from unfair dismissal; (4) it prohibits discrimination; and (5) it provides for dispute resolution procedures.
All Labour Disputes are settled through Conciliation process as follows: - Individual Complains/ non-union complainants The complaint is reported to the area Labour Officer and registered in a prescribed Form-LD 64 after the complainant has been interviewed.
In 1935, Congress passed the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”), making clear that it is the policy of the United States to encourage collective bargaining by protecting workers' full freedom of association.
It establishes a framework that promotes fair treatment, protects workers' rights, and encourages collective bargaining. It also provides a mechanism for resolving disputes, which helps maintain harmonious industrial relations.
The Act makes it unlawful for an employer to fire, refuse to rehire, or discriminate in any other manner against an employee because he or she has supported a union, has participated in union activities, or has exercised any of the other rights protected by the Act.
Process: Filing a Claim: The aggrieved employee files a formal complaint with the relevant authority, often the Employment and Labour Relations Court (ELRC) in Kenya. Defense: The employer responds to the claim, outlining their position on the matter.
