Workshop on
Innovative Wage Agreements - Sharing Experience
April 29-30, 2008 at New Delhi.
Most of the times unions used to present their charter of demand and management used to react and bargain with workers unions. Finally, after many meetings across the table through pressure tactics when settlement was arrived at bilaterally or otherwise, management had to yield to give something and union used to collect it. In view of fast change in technology, economic and competitive business environment that necessitated improving efficiency, quality and productivity, the companies had to rethink the process of the collective bargaining. The process had to switch to give and take by both parties taking a pragmatic view which enabled some of the organizations to take the lead in agreeing to something that was not even conceived earlier and are now compelled by the exigency of the circumstance.
Keeping the above in view, ASSOCHAM is organizing a two-days workshop on April 29-30, 2008 at ASSOCHAM House, 47 Prithviraj Road, New Delhi to provide an opportunity to learn from the experience of some of the companies who have entered into unique and unusual collective wage agreement fairly with unions both in the public and private sectors such as manufacturing, services, aviation and trading etc. The presentations in the workshop shall be made by few selected companies in respect of their recent innovative, unique agreements. We believe that the process and strategies adopted in working-out unique agreements will provide useful inputs and value addition to the knowledge of the participants.
