Name the person who called for the scientific selection of workers and 'Harmonious Cooperation' between labour and management?
Answer: Henry L Gantt (1901)
Brief Explanation:
Called for scientific selection of workers and Harmonious cooperation between labours and management. Also developed the famous Gantt chart that we use for project management, etc. Henry was also instrumental in stressing for the need for training.
Henry Laurence Gantt (1861-1919) was a mechanical engineer, management consultant and industry advisor. This question relates to his role as a management consultant more than Gantt Chart development.
In context of scientific management, Henry Gantt came up with a new idea. Every worker who finished a day’s assigned work load would win a 50 cent bonus. Then he added a second motivation. The supervisor would earn a bonus for each worker who reached the daily standard, plus an extra bonus if all the workers reached it. This, Gantt reasoned would spur supervisors to train their workers to do a better job.
Every workers progress was rated publicly and recorder on individuals bar charts in black on days the worker made the standard in red when he or she fell below it. Going this, Gantt originated a charting system for production scheduling; the Gantt chart is still in use today.

In HR parlance what is known as an 'Agency Shop'?
An establishment in which a union represents all employees regardless of union membership but requires that nonmembers pay union dues or fees.
Provision in a collective bargaining agreement that all employees of the firm (whether or not members of the union) pay a fixed monthly sum to the union as a condition of employment. This arrangement (where it is legal) serves as a compromise between the union's objective to eliminate free riders, and management's objective to make union membership a voluntary decision of each employee.
1. a contract arrangement between an employer and the union representing the majority of employees, which requires those who do not wish to be members to pay the union a fee equivalent to union dues
2. a factory, store, etc. in which this arrangement is in effect

What does 'Theory X' and 'Theory Y' argue?
Theory X. According to this theory workers are lazy and unmotivated. The only way to get them to work productively is by threatening them. They have to be continually supervised and have the threat of losing their jobs hanging over the heads at all times. This was the predominant paradigm in management for most of the industrial era.
Theory Y. According to these managers, workers came to work to do a good job. They were inherently motivated. These managers saw their job as enabling their workers to get on with their jobs. To remove the obstacles that prevented them from doing the best they could. To co-ordinate their energy to a common goal. To encourage them and resolve problems when motivations clashed.

An illegal strike called by employees who refuse to work during the term of a binding
contract is known as 'Wildcat Strike'. State True or False?
Answer: TRUE
Brief Explanation:
A wildcat strike is a strike action which is undertaken while a union contract is still in
effect, or while a union is negotiating for benefits. Since a wildcat strike is not
authorized by a union, it is technically an illegal action. In most countries, employees
who participate in a wildcat strike can be dismissed without legal repercussions for the
company. Because wildcat strikes are not legally protected, most workers try to avoid them.
In labor terms, a strike is a stoppage or slowdown or work which is designed to force a
company into making concessions. There are a number of different styles of strike, ranging from strikes in which workers all simultaneously call in sick in a “sick-out” to a strike where workers picket their company in order to draw attention to the cause. In many countries, better labor laws and union protections have made strikes much less common.
Striking workers also enjoy certain legal protections, such as the right to return to work. Many modern workers are organized in a union, which bargains on behalf of the protected workers. A union may also call for a strike or another sort of protest action, if it deems the action necessary. In this case, the strike is legally permitted, because it is authorized by the union. Typically, a union will notify a company that a strike is
imminent, allowing the company to decide whether to concede to the union's requests or to deal with the strike.
When a wildcat strike is organized, workers strike without the benefit of union protection. There are a number of reasons to organize a wildcat strike. In some cases, workers may feel that the union is not doing enough to protect them, so they strike on their own to force their company to pay attention to the issue. A wildcat strike may also occur when a serious safety issue is not addressed, or when workers want to protest a dismissal which they believe to be unfair.
Unlike a regular strike, a wildcat strike appears with no notice. The striking workers may picket the company to highlight the cause and force temporary workers out, or they may simply choose not to come to work. In some cases, a wildcat strike lasts only a day, and is held more to make a point than to decide a major issue. In other instances, a wildcat strike lasts until the perceived problem has been addressed or corrected.
