Document Summary
Mgt 420 exam 1 (chapters 1,2,3,4,5,7, & 11) Labor relations is the process of dealing with employees who are represented by a union. Labor union is a legally constituted group of individuals working together to achieve shared, job- related goals, including higher pay and shorter working hours. Collective bargaining is the process by which managers and union leaders negotiate acceptable terms and conditions of employment for those workers represented by the unions. Knights of labor was an important early union that expanded its goals and membership to include workers in numerous fields rather than in a single industry. American federation of labor (af of l) was another early union; it focused its efforts on improved working conditions and better employment contracts rather than getting involved in legislative and political activities. National labor relations board (nlrb) administers most labor law in the us.
