INDUSTRIAL DISPUTE SETTLEMENT 1

  In the unionized environment, unattended to complaint develops into a grievance and unattended to grievance develops into a Dispute. In discussing collective dispute settlement procedure, we shall first of all address the pervasive aberrations in the current practice of dispute settlement in my clime. These aberrations include the following:- - Ultimatum: The practice of industrial relations in the announcement of Trade Unions that if their issues are not dealt with management, the Union will go on strike. This is out of the contemplation of the Trades Dispute Act. - warning Strike: This is also unknown to the TDA. Infact no strike is allowed until all the Disputes Settlement procedures have been exhausted. - Strike: The Union proceeding on strike thereby circumventing the dispute settlement procedure. The remedy for all illegal strikes is the sanctioned of the principle of "No work No pay. - Arrest and Detention of Union Leaders: This is the panic measure by overzealous securit...

THE BOSS AND SUBORDINATE 4

  It is not allways that thinking local helps the situation, despite the fact the most global standards are actually someone's local thinking. We have had one major thinking local that ultimately destroyed thriving companies. I am referring to the indiginisation decree in the late 1970's that made Nigerians CEOs. The other problem of thinking local is our national malady - Nepotism. It is really the leadership recruitment process, that results in putting the worsts and thieves as leaders. - Directionless Boss: This is a situation where even the leader does not know where the organization is headed, some his/her subordinates have no direction. The Boss attends meetings and on his return, he is unable to brief subordinates properly and directs them to someone else for direction. This is a result of nepotism and ethnicity. - Dependable Boss: Here is a situation where you work with someone who trust your judgement would defend you without hearing from you based on your past perfor...

THE BOSS AND SUBORDINATE 3

 While it is right to Think global but the more correct position is to Act local. Equally right is that Leadership is by Examples and certainly not by prescepts.  Also, leadership is from the front and not from behind. Acting local here in our political leadership is Kakistocratic Kleptocracy. The Boss is a leader, so that if your leadership typology is Kakistocratic Kleptocracy, then global typologies are almost useless. In acting local, some leadership typologies include the following:- - Fault Finding Boss: What I found out with some bosses I worked with was, consequent upon how you joined the organization, the Boss does not see anything good with your performance. I had actually worked with a boss who went out of his way to look for my mistakes. - Knowledge Monopoly Boss: Based on the saying that the Boss is always right, I have come across bosses who push their ignorances as the only truth. I came across a boss who told yours truly that because the company had always done...
