The primary objectives of labor relations are to (1) maintain a positive labor-management relationship, (2) manage costs, (3) be able to operate efficiently, and (4) successfully conclude negotiations. However, many companies do not have the resources to support daily labor relations responsibilities AND prepare for negotiations when contracts are up for renewal.
