This topic is a complex one in our country because some labor unions are very active and sometimes not just arrogant but also combative. HR officers are always on the lookout to be one step ahead of a planned mass action like a strike or a rally.
In the bank that I used to work the HR manager is always in touch with the officers of the labor union. It is not really fraternizing but a sort of familiarization so that the relationship will be civil. That style of diplomacy has been successful because in the 10 years that I had worked with that bank there was no threat of strike. My take is the effective diplomatic approach of the HR manager and also of the union leaders. Mass action can be prevented if the leaders of both parties would sit down to thresh out the problem amicably. As they say in the end it was a win-win solution.
