environment of the organization. The grievance of the employees are related to the contract

work rule or regulation policy or procedure health and safety regulation past practice

changing the cultural norms unilaterally individual victimization wage bonus etc,,, here

attitude on the part of management in their efforts understand the problems of employees and

resolve the issues amicably have better probability to maintain a culture of high performance

managers must be educated about the importance of the grievance process and their role in

management favorable relations with the union . effective grievance handling is an essential

part of cultivating good employee relations and running a fair, successful, and productive

workplace positive labor relations are two-way street both sides must give a little and try

work together relationship building is key to successful labor relations,

methods for achieving reconciliation of conflict. These methods are winning-lose withdrawal

and retreat from argument, something and playing down the difference arbitration, mediation,

14

Page 18: Dhanasekaran - Copy

compromise and problem solving of all these methods problem solving method is most likely

to bring about win-win situation.

1.6 ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE:

National Textile Corporation is a company owned by the Indian government. It owns

many textile mills, some of which have been closed down. The company was incorporation in

April 1968.

The National Textile Corporation Limited (NTC) is a central public sector Enterprise

under the ministry of Textile which was incorporation in April 1968 for managing the affairs

of sick textile undertakings in the private sector, taken over by the Government. Starting with

16 mills in 1968, this number gradually rose to 103 by 1972-73. In the year 1974 all these

units were nationalized under the sick Textile undertaking (Nationalized) Act 1974. The

number of units increased to 119 by 1995. These 119 mills were controlled by NTC Ltd with

the help of 9 Subsidiary corporations, with an authorized capital of 10 crore (US$181

million) which was raised from time to time and which is now about 7,000 crore (US$1.27

billion) and the paid up share capital of the corporation is about 4000 crore (US$ 727

million).

Looking to the reduced number of mills and in line with the contemporary industry’s

trend all 9 subsidiary companies have been merged with NTC Head office, located at New

16

Page 20: Dhanasekaran - Copy

Cotton industry developed from hand working to factories powered by water and steam

between 1750 and 1820. By the 19th century, most cotton manufactures moved away from a

cottage industry to large, noisy factories. The changes were brought about by the invention of

new machinery which greatly speeded up the cotton production process. The use of modern

technology such as atomic high speed shuttle lees Looms ring spinning in replacement of

handlooms weaving and spinning achieved large scale production and hence proved top more

cost effective .

The textile industry is one of the largest employers of Labour. The industries includes

the spinning , weaving , knitting , and finishing of all types of natural fibers such as

polyamides and polyesters are often now used in conjunction with cotton for many purpose.

In Tamil Nadu , there are about 1607 small sized textile mills employing less than

100 workers , 244 medium scale mills employing and large sized mills employing more than

500 workers , Textile industry in Tamil Nadu plays a significant role of the industry growth

by many of its contribution is enhancing productivity as well as providing large employment.

CHAPTERR II

REVIEW OF LITURATURE

Liebenberg, (1984) research indicates that the factors that contribute to the adoption

of dispute resolution mechanisms include the structure of the mechanisms. The role of the

union steward (Dalton and tower, 1982) the applicable rights of the employees and the

mandate and the relationship and the employee (Meyer and Cooke, 1988).

In a naturally occurring field experiment in which an intervention to improve a

grievance procedure was introduced and the removed, Mesch&Dalton (1922) found that the

interrupted time series experimental design resulted in more compromise resolution and a

dramatic increase in the number of grievance field. The enhancement of fairness perceptions

takes place both through instrumental and non-instrumental mechanisms.

Hellman (1993) perhaps brings out the dichotomy succinctly. When he suggests that

agreement is not necessarily good but the neither is disagreement especially when people

disagree for the sake of disagreeing as a way to assert themselves and to avoid feeling

dominated. In the Indian context disputes under the industrial disputes Act 1947 a dispute is

raised when an employment contract is not carried out. The issues could include wage

demands union rivalry political interference unfair labor practices as described in the fifth

schedule of the ID Act consists of conciliation Arbitration and Adjudication Apart from this

in line with the theories of industrial jurisprudence, in the unionized context there are

collective bargaining establishment of works committee discipline management and

grievance resolution procedure Which help prevent disputes in the first place.

Perception of fair procedures have instrumental value if they lead to fair rewards

while the non instrumental value connotes a since of treating employees with respect

Neumann et al., (1995). Studies indicate that grievant interest in using voice simply for the

non instrumental sake of being heard or socially valued rather than to actually influences

outcomes. Seems to increase when they perceive that three are less opportunity to influence

outcomes (Barry 2000). This implies that if they wish grievant to derive non instrumental

satisfaction with an appeals process. Listeners to grievances would need to demonstrate

convincingly that instrumental action on behalf of the grievant is truly unavailable Moreover;

unfavorable outcomes that are reached by fair process generate higher distributive justice

ratings than favorable outcomes reached by unfair processes (Blanker 1995).

20

Page 24: Dhanasekaran - Copy

Despite the contention that formation of labor unions is necessary for the survival of the

workers (Vickery, 1990) and the concern that workers have a reduced capacity to initiate

issues and articulate grievances in the non unionized workplaces (Kaufman and tares 1999)

and they enjoy less benefits three seems to be a link between the use of high performance

work systems and the adoption of non-union dispute resolution procedures (Colvin 2003).

The study by Bat Colvin and keeve (2002) indicated that while union presence had a negative

relationship with quit rates the prediction for non-union dispute resolution procedures was

uncertain as they may be designed to encourage or suppress employee voice. However rising

of individual contracts and union substitution by employers is leading to adoption of non-

unionized disputes resolution mechanisms at the workplace (Colvin 2003).

Conclusion:

Several articals were reviewed on grievance handling procedure. In which according to

Hellman (1993) insisted on they grievance resolution procedure that will help to prevent,

they disputes in the workplace. A proper grievance handling procdure should be adopted, so

tat the expectation of every employee working in the organization are fulfilled.

5.2 Suggestions

To overcome the grievance there are few needs indentified by the respondents which are

listed out as below

70

Page 74: Dhanasekaran - Copy

Due do the lack of grievance redressal procedure, the employees should be given an

opportunity to express their dissatisfaction, which will automatically pave a way to

settle their frustration.

During the times of settlement the satisfaction of the employee should be ultimate

goal of an organization.

To follow an effective settlement the company needs to keep a check on arbitrary

actions during grievance procedures.

It is suggested that a good grievance redressal may bring harmonious industrial

relations as employee grievances are settled before they turn into industrial conflict.

5.3 Conclusion

The employee with a grievance first approaches his supervisor/manager and conveys his

problems, verbally. This grievance may also be expressed in a conference of a discussion

specifically arranged for this purpose. The grievance can be settled at this stage if the

supervisor has the requisite people management and problem solving skills. If the employee

is not satisfied with the settlement, the supervisor forwards this grievance to a higher-level

manager or departmental head with a not mentioning the grievance of the employee and the

failure in the first stage of redressal. The manager solving the grievance at this level may be

a business manager or superintendent or an industrial relations officer who checks the

grievance and gives his verdict.

In case of Cambodia Mills Limited the procedures followed by the organization was very

much satisfying and from the survey it was found that almost all the respondents are satisfied

towards the grievance procedures of the organization. The study concludes that this shall be

kept intact to achieve the satisfaction level among employees and organization.
