11

Pluralistic approach: Organizations as coalitions of competing interests, where managements role is to mediate among the different interests groups.  Trade unions as legitimate representatives of employee interests.  Stability in IR as the product of concessions & compromises between management & unions.  Industrial conflict is inevitable & it needs to be contained within the social mechanism of collective bargaining, conciliation & arbitration.

Marxist approach: Regard conflict as inevitable but arises as a product of the capitalist society.  Conflict arises because of the division within society between those who own or manage the means of production and those who have only their labour to offer.  Trade unions seen as weapon to bring about revolutionary social change.  For Marxists all strikes are political.
