🎭 Collective bargaining - it's like a negotiation party!

  • What? A process where worker representatives and management (or their representative) get together to find common ground.
  • Goal? Fix the conflict and find a solution that works for both parties.
  • Real-World Example: Imagine your school debate team. Both sides argue for their standpoint, but in the end, they try to reach a consensus or an agreement.

🎈Threats of redundancies - the “you're not needed anymore” card.

  • What? When an employer feels a job isn't necessary anymore, they might remove it. When we say, "He was made redundant," we mean he lost his job because the role wasn't needed.
  • Why? Sometimes employers use this to make employees more agreeable. (Not very friendly, is it?)
  • Real-World Example: It’s like having too many cooks in the kitchen. If you already have 5 chefs, do you really need a 6th? If not, the 6th chef might be made redundant.

📜 Changes of contract - the “we’re changing the rules” move.

  • What? An employer might want to tweak the terms of the work contract.
  • But… Laws in many places limit how much employers can change without an employee's agreement.
  • Why? Even threatening to make unfavorable changes can be a way for employers to flex their muscles.
  • Real-World Example: Imagine signing up for a games club where you play every Friday, but then they suddenly want you to come on Mondays too, without asking you. Not cool, right?
