The Role Of Workers

http://coto2.wordpress.com/2010/03/23/consider-the-germans-co-determination-and-works-councils/.

When a company needs to take out the most important effort of its employee, they try to persuade by given them more money or understanding their needs.
The role of worker in a society is declared by the governance of the high commotion of a nation, they decide which percentage of decision has a worker of if they just will be a sub ordinaries all the live, and in most cases the works will feel as slaves in a company were they don’t have the same opportunities as a manager, or were they don’t have the same decision making power as a boss. It normally will take to form labor union in a company to try making equals levels of power in a society.
The issue is that labor union usually has a cultural crush that its main issue is to take mush of advantage of what they can’t take from the company, ideology incorrect if we see the real reason why labor union were created, to preserve an to give respect to de workers, to take out the child and to minimizes the power of a employee.
For this Blog I will talk about my opinion of labor union and how it can affect a company or affected if we do not know how to handle it.
In the company that I work (I will submit the name for security reason) is growing a labor union thru its sales reps. For the company this is a big issue of aptitude because the sale reps that are in the labor union has less hours of work, and they do not has an acquitted approach of the company. From the Germany view they take advantage of the labor union and do not seem them as a bad issue they see it as a opportunity to equalizes power between owners and works.
But its no just the point of view of the employees, it’s also the acquitted of the workers toward labor union, to justified the union and to see the important things of making a labor union without affecting the company organization.
The sales rep of my organization does not work together with the company strategy and its attitude is affecting the rest of sale rep in the organization. The French labor union has a similar reaction, the do not look toward the benefits of the organization; they only see the benefits of them self even do it has to be over the company succeed.
Different from these point of view, the German work together with the company benefits, because they know that it very important that there company stay in market in other to they have work and build a better place to work.
With this we can conclude the importances of the cultural approach toward labor union, but it’s not just an issue of the company owner, it’s also an acquitted of the labors toward the benefits of the company. It is important to achieve a method to induce the workers that the labors union do not mean spatially that they have to go against prosperity of the company, the reason of labor union it’s to preserve right of a good job and the respect of the minorities.


Analyze the potential implications of the Co-determination principles over the organisation’s decision making process from the perspectives of the managers and the employees.


For countries that border with Germany, it is important to understand the way in which management in this country, it is necessary to adapt the Germany style if any difference occurred with German organizations.

This challenge is caused by the difference that the top management in Germany has with other top team in European countries, as the administrative decisions are taken with the support of labor groups, unlike other styles, decisions are made by managements that are taken by a few managers.

Co-determination is a concept that allows workers a greater linkage to take management decisions on the management of organizations, so it emphasizes the equal right of workers and owners. Co-determination has been used in many European countries, but Germany is the strongest with the concept.

This way the Germans want to take the decisions together, not only few in the top team, and get the best decisions for the company involving the owners and workers.
The co-determination transformer can be a competitive advantage if executed properly by managers and workers involving in making strategic decisions the company, so therefore you can expect a better performance at work. However it is important to note that culture facilitates the handling of these plans, because in a country where management is very hierarchical, the cohesion of unions and the owners of the companies is very difficult to move forward.

We can conclude that co-determination make feel employees part of the company, but well handle the ideas presented by the workers can be productive to the benefit of the company; it important to understand the implication of the decision that employees can make because the focused is to create new ideas and work together to build a better organization and not to contradict the present manager, otherwise it would be on bane
