The rights of employees as shown in the NLRA GUARANTEES
Surveys will tell your employees the extent of their defense support if they have to meet certain safeguards. Otherwise, you do not practice professional practices and you even create an atmosphere of constraint. Moreover, it is necessary to communicate (1) with each of the chapters, according to his will, he must determine if the relation supports the majority (black colors and it is true that this can be an example); (2) wants to give credit to oppression; and (3) the leader of each driver by secret ballot. Spy on the workers' union. (The "twins" do not do anything extraordinary to stay active, because union activities in open areas where majority participation has taken place, not in the children's workplace

It is necessary to communicate with the purpose of the investigation, to reassure him against retaliation and to receive his voluntary participation. Employer investigation should be free in terms of hostility towards the union organization and should not be strong themselves. And requests should not go beyond the things necessary to achieve their legitimate purpose. That is, we can not interfere with workers' rights can get information about what you can not take advantage of other trade union issues, personal rights under the laws of Kenya.

The employers should not e coerced into appearing on a campaign video for the company (Raymond, Kirk and Donald, 2001).
Employees should not be video taped while engaging in a peaceful demonstration or any other peaceful and protected activity.
How discourage employees from being unionizable
The first step to discourage employees from joining the union is to ensure that your HR team is equipped to handle experienced and staff issues. It can be difficult for fast growing organizations who are looking at their pay-day bubble early. Your HR department should be close enough for the staff and must be open enough to listen to their challenges. A responsive HR department quickly recognizes employee dissatisfaction and can stop it from skidding immediately. Employee agreement One of the main reasons for the end of the staff is that they have no one to talk about their welfare issues. This makes them weak and consensual. To avoid this, organizations have to provide multiple platforms to engage employees. Employees should be able to include their immediate supervisors, unit and department heads for questions regarding their welfare, career development and security. If an employee trusts enough of his supervisor, then there is little encouragement to listen to someone, especially a union member (Bouhring-Uhele, Christian and Lars, 2006)..
7
Communication is the best tool that can help in maintaining the employees at workplace without unionization. When an employer communicates with the employees about unionization and also talking about the critical factors
Employers should make their stance on employees very clear, starting from the beginning, it is important that the employees understand the opinion about the unionization (Bouhring-Uhele, Christian and Lars, 2006)..
The employers need to be pro-workers and not anti-unions
Employers should run a safe and fair workplace
The company should have effective grievance procedure in place.
role of labor relations
General Motors: The company pays huge sums in terms of negotiation costs and compliance with the federation guidelines. Normal engines also have a detailed representation policy. The Union uses its representatives to negotiate higher wages or other changes. The company is involved in federal industries that also make representation plans for themselves. There may be representation policies in companies without trade unions, but they are rarely kept strictly.
Wal-Mart: The company compromises on working conditions for human resources and workers policies. The effect can also be seen on those channel partners who are pushed to provide the material at the lowest possible cost, and Wal-Mart is able to do so using its largest retailer and its operational scale.
