Document Summary

Identify the distinctions among employees, agents, and independent contractors. Agency is a third type of business relationship, in which one person acts as a go-between in relationships between others. Employment involves one person doing work for another. Degree of control exercised over an employee is greater than over an independent contractor. A person who is told not only what to do but also how to do it is classed as an employee. But if the person doing the work is free to decide how the job should be down, the person is more like an independent contractor. Whether the person is paid a wage or salary, or is paid by the job, is also taken into consideration in determining if an employment relationship exists. Courts will also look at who owns the tools used and who profits or runs the risk of loss from the work performed.

Case Study - 5

Breaking The Bargaining Pattern

Gilson steel is a local fabricating and supply firm. Situated in open country, far from the large steel making centers. The firm has been in business many years. About the third of employees have worked in the organization for more than ten years. Top management would like to get away from the current practice in which negotiations on wage matters and fringes follow the pattern. The firm’s president feels that industry – wide bargaining tends to divorce employees from the firm. He thinks they feel that their employer is a combination of U.S steel and bethlem steel instead of Gilson. He argues that the local firm which has prospered can do better by employees than is possible in national pattern. He says that the local conditions should be considered. His basic objection to current practice, however, is his conviction that it tends to divorce its employees from local employer. The labor relations manager has been urged to try negotiating terms at variance with the national pattern.

Answer the following questions: ·

What theory and policy do you read into the president’s suggestion? ·
How will his ideas fit into the existing pattern of public union policy? ·
Can you suggest a promising innovative approach?
