"Employee Discipline and Bargaining Practices"

Progressive discipline policy for unauthorized absence

Policy: Verbal warning

            This policy should be followed when dealing with an employee who has this kind of undesirable behavior. First, the employee should be allowed to understand the undesirable behavior committed and why such behavior is unacceptable (Magoon & De, 2007).  In this scenario, he or she will have the opportunity to express his or her feelings with respect to this issue.  After explaining the reason for doing wrong, employee should be reminded on desirable behavior which must be followed. Then, employee should be informed that if he or she commits such behaviors again, disciplinary actions such as terminated will be taken in a serious manner.

Differences of private sector and public sector bargaining

A public sector is implemented by government and it follows the terms and conditions   made by government.  Public sector develops administrative structure and there is a collective agreement which determines the tax level for each individual and employees benefit from the government services. Public sector is concerned with public interest and it does not focus on product market but rather it focus on public services and the level of taxes from public (Holley, Jennings,  & Wolters, 2012).

On the other hand, private sector involves private parties in making decisions based on costs and benefits. Private sector is interested with economic and maximization of private interest and it is much concerned with product market. Other difference arises in the bargaining structure and the main different occurs in the management (Holley, Jennings & Wolters, 2012).  In private sector, authority is given by people who are in the bargaining table while in public sector, people in the bargaining table do not have authority but rather authority is given by the legislative body. On the structure, other differences are as a result of bargaining units. Private sectors have one or two units while private sectors have multiple units.

The differences favor   the presented constituencies in that private sectors reduced poverty and accelerate economic growth. It boosts the standards of living and improves the employment rate. Constituencies benefit much from private sectors since they are sources of tax revenue and ensure the flow of capital (Holley, Jennings, & Wolters, 2012). On the other hand, public sector plays a great role in the constituency since it creates a healthy environment which encourages effective business activities.

 Example of a private sectors bargaining is clothing industry.  Clothing industry plays a great role in developing countries as they bring both economic and social development. They develop new jobs incomes and policies which helps the developing countries to sustain the economic development.  Example of a public sector bargaining is transport department (Holley, Jennings, & Wolters, 2012). Government develops a strategic framework of ensuring that there is an effective transport network and transport matters are controlled. The government is also responsible in maintaining economic growth through providing reliable transport networks and effective environmental performance.
