Non-Marxists typically take a different view about the degree of conflict that exists in the employment relationship. While many workers and firms do have adversarial relationships, non-Marxists believe that it is also possible to have employer/employee relationships that are built on cooperation. This cooperation means not just the minimum necessary for the employment relationship to survive, but rather a relationship similar to that between two partners who pursue a common goal. In this view the type of labor relations will contain elements of both cooperation and conflict, although the exact proportion will depend on the management philosophy of the employer and the firm’s competitive position in the product market.
