Hi everyone
This blog discusses ER in India. Typically Indias ER has been influenced by their British roots however a number of changes have taken place in the past decade. For instance, India has a number of unions numbering around 100 000, their workforce is made up of 50% of agricultural workers in the informal sector, promotes Union involvement in the bargaining process and determines wages by establishing a benchmark In the public sector which will determine the min wage in the private sector. India has responded to globalisation by encouraging privatisation and foreign investment and has recognised the importance of converging with western practices rather than diverging away from them. They have also recognised the need to protect their employees and encourage fair working rights and conditions for all.... But the question I pose to you is have they done enough? Or have they merely taken a small step in the right direction?
Thanks for reading :)

ER in China
Employment relations in China
Hi everyone! This blog is about ER in china. After doing extensive research into the employment relations in China I have noted that there have been quite a few changes that have taken place and that China's ER is quite a unique system- firstly, only one union with communist party links is recognised in China the ACFTU, all other unions must accept the control and be affiliated with this union. Secondly, collective bargaining is quite rare particularly in the private sector. Thirdly, approximately half of the workforce in China is made up of agricultural workers. Finally, workers generally are employed under contract rather than for a lifetime.
So is China converging or diverging that is the question- well in my opinion I have mixed feelings. In one sense it can be argued that there is convergence towards labour flexibility in China due to international pressures, deregulation and increased privatisation however on the other hand they are diverging as the state is taking a lesser welfare role and decentralising collective bargaining. After reading this.... What do you think????
