My answers would be as follows:
Do you think the individual is always at the receiving end and the "bargaining power" is always shifted in favor of employer?
“Bargaining Power” is highly situational and time specific as to who is at the receiving end in the exercise of this so called “Bargaining Power”. It totally depends on when the employee and employer are bargaining. If the employee is having the skill set and experience which is commonly available in the labor market then obviously the employee is at the receiving end because in that condition employee has the other options. However if the employee has skill-set which is rare in the market, and then he can bargain on his own terms. Thus it is highly dependent on the employees and the need to the resources.
Based on the email, what are your observations on "bargaining power" in the context of individual - organizational relationship?
Based on the mail, in the context of individual-organizational relationship, both the parties tend to make wrong use of it. The instance has been provided in the mail. Sometimes employee put demand which is quite unjustified in many sense and if the organization does not accept it, employee is ready with the resignation papers. Same is the case when employer keeps unjustified terms and conditions. To avoid this, it is quite important that the contract letter be drafted very meticulously with utmost care as any clause might have undesirable consequences in the future.
Would you be able to make similar non-negotiable offer to your employer in any point of time in your career?
After doing my post graduation, I will be in a position to male similar non-negotiable offer to my employer but not with the same intensity as that given in the mail. By way of non-negotiable offer I would be able to protect my rights as an employee and would be able to get the work bet suited to my skills and knowledge, thereby making justice to myself.
Also, if you were to receive a similar one time non-negotiable offer from your employee, how would you handle this issue?
First of all I would like to know whether the offer really serves the need for the company and the employee. If the demand of the employee is justified with his career level, past performance and his skill sets, then I might think of acceding to his demands. My decision will also be influenced by the available workforce in the market.
