Industrial Dispute Act
Indu
Industrial Disputes Act -1947
The conflict between the industrialists (employers) and labourers (employees) is inherent in a democratic and an industrial society. Economic progress of a country largely gets obstructed by the industrial conflicts; therefore ‘industrial peace’ is desired.
It is a reality that no rule, regulation or legislation can eliminate the industrial conflicts permanently; however a quest for industrial harmony is indispensable when a country plans to make industrial and economic progress.
Industrial Disputes Act was enacted to provide a machinery and forum for the settlement of conflicting interests without disturbing the peace and harmony in industry and assuring undisturbed industrial growth which is required for the industrial development of the country.
The Act aims to ensure social justice to both employers and employees and accelerates industrial progress by bringing about harmony and cordial relationship between parties.
