Although the extent of unionization may have declined in some jurisdictions, the practice of labor relations continues to have considerable impact on both individuals and organizations. On the organizational front, labor relations practice has implications for the implementation of human resource practices in organizations. For individuals, the dynamic of labor relations has been characterized as involving both conflict and change. This article reviews research on labor relations, highlighting its impact on individuals and organizations. It begins by considering the extent and nature of unionization in various jurisdictions. The article then considers the major “events” characterizing labor relations; from an individual's decision to join a union, through the negotiation of collective agreements and related strike action, to the administration and enforcement of agreement provisions via member grievances. It concludes with a review of other research assessing consequences of labor relations that are of critical importance for human resource management.

The fostering of worker confidence in the organization has been a major goal of big business for a century. Professor Nelson, a well-known authority on the history of human resource management, here provides a new look at company unions. His view shows that the characterization of these organizations by liberal and labor critics was not always accurate. Some company unions represented noteworthy contributions to the development of a professional approach to labor relations.

The main problem of social and labor relations in the context of COVID-2019 is the rise in unemployment. The article shows that an orientation towards the future forces us to pay attention not only to the preservation of the quantitative characteristics of human resources, but also to the efficiency of management of the most important factor of production for any enterprise “labor”. According to the Federal State Statistics Service, the dynamics of growth in labor productivity and growth in wages in the Russian economy have been built. The analysis showed that the COVID-2019 pandemic, having influenced the economies of all countries, did not fundamentally change the efficiency of human resource management, but created the conditions for its qualitative transformation. To ensure the long-term competitiveness of socio-economic systems in a changing environment, HR specialists are faced with the task of adequately assessing the ongoing changes and the appropriate transformation of human resource management systems.


Annotation. Human resources management is currently carried out at all levels: from structural units of the organization to government levels. The main recommendations in the field of human resource management were developed by the International Labor Organization. The main provisions of the ILO are aimed at creating relationships between various parties of the labor process, maintaining normal and safe working conditions in the workplace. In any state has its own system of government bodies dealing with social policy, employment management and labor relations. In the Republic of Uzbekistan, at present, the Ministry of Employment and Labor Relations functions as part of the Government. The article presents the formation of an effective human resource management system. Currently, in science and in the practice of human resource management, various concepts are distinguished to denote the participation of people in the labor process, such as labor resources, labor force, human resources, labor potential, and human resources. Due to the fact that the development of theoretical and practical knowledge about managing people is of an evolutionary nature, the system of views on methods and methods of management was formed as society’s perception of the values and needs of people developed.
