There are several theories of collective bargaining. Some important theories are
discussed bellow :-
MARKETING THEORY
According to this theory, collective bargaining is the contract of
selling labor. In this process, it is determined that under what
conditions, the workers will work and the employers will appoint
them. Here, the workers are very much weak, n comparing with
their employers. So, in this case, collective bargaining helps the
workers to increase their bargaining power.
GOVERNMENTAL THEORY
According to this theory, collective bargaining is considered as
constitutional procedure in case of industrial matters. In this case,
collective bargaining is a political relation that assists in producing
laws regarding daily activities of the industries.
MANAGERIAL THEORY
According to this theory, collective bargaining is procedure of
business administration. It depends on the relationships of the
schedules. Both parties participate in management due to their
mutual interests.
In preliminary, collective bargaining was the contract of selling of labor. Then it became
governmental theory due to industrial development. Finally, it turns to the managerial
theory, because of trade unions participation in management.
