Excerpt from Industrial Relations and Economic Performance: Grievances and Productivity
In the ten unionized mills in this sample, grievances proceed through a four-step process: 1) discussion with department foreman; 2) filing the grievance in writing; 3) discussions with a committee on grievances usually involving the labor relations director or mill manager; and h) arbitration. The grievance rate in this study is defined as total written grievance filed (step 2) per hourly manhour. With the short time periods between step 1 and step 2 specified in the mills' collective bargaining agreements, the time when a grievance is filed should be close to the time when the original complaint arose. The specific issues of interpretaion that arise from using a grievance rate defined by the grievance activity in step 2 are considered in detail in the theoretical model in this section and the empirical results of the next section.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the connection between industrial relations and economic performance. The author draws upon data from eleven paper mills over seven years to uncover a strong inverse relationship between grievance rates and productivity. It is argued that this relationship reflects greater discrepancies between reported and effective labor hours as grievance rates increase. The author constructs a model to demonstrate how poor industrial relations can hinder a plant's efficiency. The book discusses specific dimensions of an establishment's industrial relations system that can influence its performance and explores the significant impact grievance rates have within the industry. This examination of the link between economic and industrial relations performance elucidates the importance of a positive work environment for a firm's overall success.
