Bharath, the Managing Director of a company unilaterally announced the target in the Production Section that 9000 units of a particular type of Annunciator are to be manufactured in a month as against the normal production of 5000 units. The workers of the company resisted the move and collectively decided to go on strike instantly. The Managing Director threatened to terminate them from services. Answer the following questions: (i) What procedure the Managing Director should follow while setting the increased production targets ?
Answer & Explanation:
Bharath, the Managing Director of the company cannot unilaterally fix the target. It is not correct. He should hold a joint session with the workers and then convince them. It can be resolved by paying for overtime hours within the limits but still not a possibility, then only option to increase the workforce to meet the target. Otherwise with the existing workforce, if it is not possible, they cannot be subjected to pressure as it impairs industrial relations.
