Correct. Labor laws specify what supervisors can and cannot say and
do during union organizing efforts.
Authority is the right to make decisions, direct the work of others, and
to give orders. Line managers are authorized to direct the work of
subordinates and are directly in charge of accomplishing the
organization's basic goals. Staff managers are authorized to assist
and advise line managers in accomplishing these basic goals. The HR
manager carries out three distinct functions: (1) The HR manager
directs the activities of people in the HR department, thereby exerting
line authority; (2) The HR manager serves in a staff manager role in
assisting and advising line managers. HR assists in hiring, training,
evaluating, rewarding, counseling, promoting and firing employees
and helping line managers comply with equal employment and
occupational safety laws, and in handling grievances and labor
relations issues. (3) It exerts implied authority by having the ear of
management in areas like testing and affirmative action.
More than 1,000 articles are listed in the database, including articles
relating to creating HR's strategic plan. Note that other articles also
are available relating to other categories of the HR function. Such
articles may be useful for furthering your knowledge of the HR
function as you progress through this course, as well as in helping you
perform the functions of an HR manager in the workplace.
