Abstract
Collective Bargaining has been preferred to other methods of job
regulation by the private sector of Nigeria. This is because of our
inheritance of British type of Industrial relations principles. The
principles are built on the tenants of 'Voluntarism' which has
Collective Bargaining as a hallmark.
The extent to which the preconditions for viability of collective
bargaining have been attained in our system, of Industrial Relations
has been considered. Information for the study was obtained through
questionnaires and personal interviews. Existing literature on the
subject matter was also consulted.
From the research findings it could be said that the mentioned
conditions have been haphazardly attained. This therefore does not
allow effective collective bargaining to take place in the private
sectors especially. Other factors that hinder effective collective
bargaining practice were also looked into in the conclusions.
It is recommend as follows: government should reduce its
intervention and complete dominance of the decision making in our
industrial relation scene. A tripartite situation was recommended as
the best situation that would foster effective Collective Bargaining.
Tribalism and sectionalism, which is a serious problem in our industrial
relations system should be checked. Union leaders should be elected
based on merit and performance. When elected leaders should have
the interest of the Union above all others.
