To talk of a unitary frame of reference for management is to reference a model of managerial thinking, attitudes, values and practices. Co-operative attitudes and values are assumed. Workers who disagree are seen as unreasonable, recalcitrant. We all want the business to achieve its purpose.
Management have the best interests of all staff at heart when decisions are made.
Of course misunderstandings arise from time to time but these are not helped by malcontents who distort what management are trying to do. If staff join a trade union then this can only be because of porr management practice and communication. In the modern unitary, performance oriented, human resource, team flavoured and very competitive firm working practices should be flexible. Collective bargaining is too fistant and re4moved from the individual appreciating that their efforts are recognised and rewarded individually. The whole benefits package matters - tangible and intangible rewards.
