Dear All IR Expert,
One of my friend who is working as Executive - HR & Admin in one of the reputed organization his company is into engineering business.
The said HR - Executive was used to take round check in that he found that some mathadi workers were not doing their work but rather wandering here & there so he would shout at them as these mathadis are local perople so they uesd to do "Gundagardi "
Due to all these compaints the management had decided to sack the mathadi union.
By this the Mathadi Union Leader got angry ( Who is a " Local Gunda ") he came to company alongwith 10-15 drunked ruffians he without asking anything to the HR - executive slapped the HR personnel & gave him "Galiz"
So with reference to above this Dear Learned IR Seniors what do you think what should be the take of Management on this???

Dear Prashant,
I am sorry for your friend but this are some ground realities in IR. There are cases where union mob killed the management persons. So dealing with bully unions are not easy task they are not only having support of workers but political nexus also. Each organisation and situation require different solution and expert persons.
Senior HR person must take lead in this case in place of sending fresh HR in dealing with this sort of cases.
Now coming directly to your question what management should do?
First Management must take action against person who had done such serious misconduct. Manhandling/Slapping must no be tolerated in any form. If today management will not take action then in future slapping can lead killing of person.
Second Management have to find out long term solution of this issues. They have to do self analysis, engage more and more directly with people, build a free, transparent culture where any employee can raise his concern with out any fear and any support of mob and so called leaders.
