Relationships between employer and employee: how to win subordinates' favour

A brief history outline

In the past, the relationship between employer and employee was based on the assumption that employers were like owners and were free to dictate any terms of employment. There were few laws and protections available to employees that would protect their interests at times of poor treatment, manipulation, unfair practices, etc.

The employer did not value the employee loyalty and the employee benefits. The employer did not seek ways for the employee satisfaction and as a rule they did not intend to build better employee relationship. This terrible situation could not last too long. At first, it was the labor unions that made pro test s against the unfair relationships between employers and employee, and called for the government to provide rights, better employer and employee relationship, and the employee satisfaction.

In the 1930s, the federal government of The United States enacted the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), which called for better and fair employee wages and safe workplaces. This was only the beginning. In 1960's, the federal government began to enact laws forbidding discrimination against women and older employees. In 1970, The U.S. Government enacted the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), which set minimum standards of workplace safety. By 1990 Congress had enacted laws which forbid discrimination against disabled employees, and require employers to accommodate such employees if the accommodation did not provoke excessive difficulties on the employer. And today, the employee relationship with the employer is protected by various laws. The laws provide the employee satisfaction and give the employees the right to pro test, make claims and seek damages if they have been mistreated.

This history outline briefly demonstrates that the employees did not always have better standards of workplace safety, labour legislation and wages. We cannot be sure that today we have perfect laws and terms of employment. However, we are sure that today's employers give better workplace and employee benefits which increase employee loyalty and employee satisfaction.
