Functions of labor relations office
The responsibilities of the labor relations manager
In this paper, I present an interview that I conducted with the Labor Relations Officer/Manager within the Human Resource department of our company. The aim of this interview is to reveal the real world the functions performed by labor relations.
Summary of the interview

Yet again, some employees are noted to be more vulnerable as compared to others to the set industrial action. Other employ
The technology that is used in the production is also noted to have an effect on the process of determining the labor relation variables. This is because the effect of an industrial action (strike) in the production of daily consumables like newspapers is very immediate while on other services such as shipbuilding while take several months.
The distribution of power within the community is also indicated to have a direct influence on labor relations. In certain markets such as the Western ones, there is what is called voluntarism (Forbath,1990).
