INTRODUCTION
- Background of the study
Collective Bargaining has come to be recognized as one of the major column of industrial relations especial in the process of industrial democracy. It plays an vital part in creating and sustaining industrial peace through early recognition of emergent areas of conflict and taking steps to remove them through dialogue and accord. But the machinery of collective bargaining is often maltreated through non-adherence to the basic principles that guide the practice of collective bargaining. Before going into Additional details, it might be proper to define collective bargaining in the context of this research work. Collective bargaining has been defined as negotiations about work conditions and terms of employment between an employer, a group of employers organizations and one or more representative works organization with a view to rack an Accord. From the above definition, it would be seen that collective bargaining aims primarily at brining both parties in a working relationship together for the intention of reaching accords on their mutual relationship. In most cases, collective bargaining has been sight only as an indispensable tool for wage increases. Nigeria has recently witnessed a huge increase in the number of industrial actions. No day passes in Nigeria without strikes or threats of strikes in one form or another. What was once thought to be a ‘British diseases seem to have become a Nigerian disease. In fact, strikes have become so endemic in Nigeria that even our courts would be prepared to take judicial notice of them.3 This development, however, is not very healthy. In the first place, it destroys the desired growth and development in the economy and secondly, Nigeria’s desire to encourage foreign investment will be hindered as no serious foreign investor will be willing to put down investments in a country bedevilled by bitter industrial disputes and strikes over wages and conditions of service. The implication of withdrawal of foreign investments may appear as another indication of a nose-diving economy.4 There is a firm international consensus that the right to freedom of association enables the workers to aggregate, join and form trade unions for the protection of their economic and other interests.5 Freedom of association is the key enabling right and the gateway to the exercise of a range of other rights at work. When workers join and form trade unions they are entitled to recognition for the purpose of collective bargaining with the employer with a view to improving the terms and conditions of the employment of workers. Thus, recognition of the workers right to freedom of association carries with it the recognition of the right to collective bargaining, as one of its important components.
Even though ages characteristic conspicuous in collective accords, collective bargaining is necessary of the corporate survival of organization for it is supposed to deal with virtually all problems that might affect development of the organization. Union produce security of employment for their members through collective bargaining or accord. They maintain and if possible raise wage levels of their members through collective bargaining with individual employers and the federation. They play an vital part in controlling the problems of work provided the legal assistance for their members and also anxious with education and training political propaganda. It is equally indispensable to note that the stronger the union the stronger the union the stronger their bargaining strength and the more money they are likely to win for their members.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
There have been strike actions over the years in Nigeria, more especially during the civilian regime resulting in loss of labour time and low level of productivity. The Nigeria union of railway in October 1986 went on strike action and had to their destinations by 12.00 mid might keeping their passengers stranded. Due to poor relationship between the top management and the operatives, many organizations have not been able to enjoy industrial peace’s for a length of time. In Nigeria, workers are not well provided with good working problems and when profits are made the workers are not adequately provided for. Hence workers have held the opinion that their services are exploited. A coverage Nigerian workers is a person who came to work lake and go home early because he still regards his kind of jobs as the white men job. In contrast a Nigerian centerpieces is as hard hearted as shylock. He has an insatiable tendency towards profit, which he does not honestly declare to the inland Reveres and would like to pay no wages to the workers if he can avoid it. Lack of communication between the employers and the employees seriously affects industrial relations in the country.
