The general concept of unionisation and the analysis of theoretical perspectives in employment relations is discussed to contextualise this essay. The three theoretical perspectives discussed in this paper are the unitary perspective, radical perspective and the pluralist perspective which underpins this report. Elements of employment relations linked to the effects of unionisation are discussed since they form significant part of this essay. In conclusion, the author heralds that theories and techniques applied in employment relations are effectively based on the pluralist perspective as construed from the analysis.
