LABOR RELATIONS IN PALESTINIAN INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

The need for studying labor relations within Palestinian institutions stems from the special nature of the labor union movement in the occupied territories. The political aims of these labor unions overshadow their economic aims (Quatamish, 1989) which affected the relations between labor and management and development for the present form of the collective bargaining. Is it possible for the management of an institution with an organized labor union to establish a relationship with the union council that can achieve the objectives of the institution while benefiting both parties? What factors influence such relations? In what direction can these relations be expected to develop in coming years? The purpose of this study is to answer these questions and find out the impact of environmental factors upon the economic aims of an organization, the interests of its employees, and the social responsibility of the organization.
