The earning of the workers even after inflation have risen by just a small margin, making the living standards of the workers low, some of them unable to even provide for their families while others stay with their parents even after employment. Other workers have faced and met their death at their places of wok for lack of proper precautions especially those working under dangerous conditions like construction sites.

Mean: 2.7 Question 9: The company is good at communicating. Mean: 2.2 Question 10: You do not fear that you will lose your job.

If the manager had used his or her negotiating skills and solved the conflict with the employees the company would not have only save time and production it would have saved money for the company. One can only image the amount of money wasted from unnecessary and in many cases avoidable lawsuits or injury.
