Does anyone know how to answer these questions ? Thank you.

a) Characterise the primary difference between a trade union and an industrial/general union.
b) What is the difference between a grievance procedure and a disciplinary procedure?
c) Why is it advisable to resolve grievances at the earliest opportunity and at the most local level?

Respuesta :

A. A trade Union is for a specific trades (like firefighters, police). Industrial general union is for companies that make things like vehicles. Both protect the employees.

B. A grievance procedure is when an employee is done wrong within the company. For example, in a factory they may go by senority (how long somebody works there). Suppose they forced a person to work that had more time in over somebody who has less time in. A grievance would be filed. A disciplinary procedure would include being late to work, crashing a forklift, etc.

C. If a grievance isn’t dealt with early, the company could loose money, employees, etc.
