I thought it was interesting to learn about other countries labor relations and what international Human resource is like compared to the United States. Companies that operate across national boundaries often need to work with unions in more than one country. Organizations establish policies and goals for labor relations for overseeing labor agreements and for monitoring labor perfomance.
In comparison with the European organizations U.S. organizations exert where more centralized control over labor relations in the various countries where they operate. Therefore U.S. Management must recognize differences in how various countries understand and regulate labor relations. Like in the U.S. collective bargining usually involves negotiations between a union local and an organizations managment. However in Sweeden and Germany, collective bargining generally involves negotiations between an employers organization and an union representing an entire industry's employees.
International labor relations must also take into accout that negotiations between labor and managment take place in a different social context, not just different economic and legal contexts. Cultural differences come into play in labor negotiations as well. It is crazy to think how the workforce is so different in other countries, but yet the same in alot of ways as well. We all work for money no matter what country we are living in .
