Abstract
While unions are struggling with issues like loss of membership, lack of mature leadership, managements are challenged by the technology and cost factors of business. Though both the parties try to maintain an amicable relationship to sustain and grow, the HR practices are considered to be a threat for the unions. This paper based on a survey responses from 640 respondents conducted in manufacturing industries across different sectors in Odisha tries to explore the perception of workers, trade union leaders and managers about the HR practices and the union management relationship, and the impact of the former on the later.
