Due to industrial disputes
Causes of Industrial Disputes
If indeed seen, the industrial dispute is a product of modern capitalism. As the size of production increased, capitalist practice flourished and the exploitation of workers increased, industrial disputes continued to arise when workers opposed it. For the convenience of the study, we can divide the causes of industrial dispute into the following four parts: (I) Economic reasons,
(II) Political reasons,
(Iii) Management related reasons and
(IV) Other reasons.
commercial purpose
Economic Causes
(1) Low waycs –
The industries where the wages of workers are so low that it is rare to meet even the minimum requirements of their lives are called the Industrial Conflict Act 1947 24, they resort to strike to increase their wage rate. As a result, industrial disputes arise.
(2) Fines and removal from work –
Sometimes employers improperly impose financial penalties on workers or expel them from their jobs. In protest against this, the workers go on strike. Due to this, industrial disputes arise.
(3) Demand of bonus and dearness allowances – Everyone knows that the prices of all commodities in India are increasing at a rapid pace. The most severe impact of this back-breaking inflation is on the workers, so they demand an increase in bonus and inflation. When the demand is not met, the workers resort to a strike. This increases industrial disputes. It is a matter of satisfaction that recently the Government of India has decided that 8.3% of the wages will be given to the workers as a bonus, irrespective of whether there is profit or loss in the factory. This is to prevent disputes.
(4) Unreasonable working conditions
On the basis of experience, it can be said that industrialists come and go in implementing the provisions of the Factories Act. Hence, workers resort to strike to improve working conditions and implement other provisions of the Factories Act.
(5) Protest of scintific management and pahialisation plans – opposition to scientific management and rationalization schemes.
It is natural for workers to be laid off initially due to the implementation of scientific management and rationalization schemes in factories. In protest, workers go on strike. For example, in 1955, in the cotton-textile mills of Kanpur, workers did an 80-day strike in protest against the implementation of the rationalization schemes.
(6) Defective policy of recrvitment of workers
Another important cause of the industrial dispute is the contaminated method of recruitment of workers in factories. Workers are recruited by contractors, masons, etc. intermediaries. They take bribe from the workers and exploit them as they wish. Hence, due to their behavior and tendency to exploit, the workers go on strike.
(7) Holidays and working hours
Many times industrial disputes also arise due to the employers not giving workers their holidays or taking work for more than the prescribed hours.
(8) छटनी (Retrenchmeat)-
Workers are laid off by the employer due to reduced work load, loss of industry, or any other reason, due to which industrial disputes also arise.
Political reasons
Political Causes
Politics –
It is a matter of great regret that the leadership of workers and labor unions in India is in the hands of non-workers or partisan political parties. Congress on some
The Industrial Act, 25, is dominated by Communists and some by Socialists. These parties seduce the workers for their selfishness and borrow their feelings and strike them arbitrarily.
- Trade union movement –
History is a witness to the fact that industrial disputes have started since the establishment of labor unions in India. Earlier, industrial disputes were only nominal. Both the industrialist and the labor union run from the beginning considering themselves as enemies of each other.
- Sympathy
Sometimes the workers of an industrial undertaking strike themselves in sympathy with the strike done by the workers of any other industrial undertaking or undertaking. Thus gradually it takes the form of a large industrial dispute.
- In opposition to government policy (Agaisnt the govt. Policiyes) –
If workers consider any policy or rule declared by the government as adverse to their interests, they immediately resort to strikes to express their opposition, and thus industrial disputes arise.
- Against the death or arrest of a labor leader.
Sometimes industrial disputes arise on the death or arrest of a major leader of the country’s labor economy. The Indian labor-union movement is replete with such examples.
- Affairs to trade union affiliation –
Labor unions established in industries pressurize industrialists to give recognition. Industrial disputes arise when industrialists refuse to recognize them. Not only this, sometimes more than one trade union is established in the same large industrial unit and pressurize the industrialist to give them recognition. Industrial disputes also arise when industrialists refuse to recognize them or give recognition to any one and deny the rest.
Reasons for management
Managerial Causes
(1) Under management of management
Managers harass and mistreat workers in various ways, resulting in industrial disputes.
(2) Unsafis factory concepts –
Sometimes employers take a number of steps (eg shortening of holidays, job instability, retrenchment of workers, lockouts and work longer than workers, etc.), which arouse a feeling of discontent among workers. is. Industrial disputes arise as a result.
The Industrial Conflict Act 1947 26 is more ignorant. They cannot think of their good or evil themselves. As a result, they become puppets in the hands of some selfish individuals who awaken their sense of bitterness and disharmony towards the mill owners and prove their selfishness by taking a strike.
(4) Get the share of management and profit
Today’s labor is a vigilant labor, so he wants a share in the benefits of the industry in addition to his wages. When they are opposed by the industrialists, the working class gets organized and resorts to strikes, causing industrial disputes.
(5) Undue behavior of supervisior
The supervisors who are appointed to look after the work of the workers, treat the workers inhumanely, against which the workers resort to the strike.
(6) Defecive policy of recruitment
India has a corrupt system of labor recruitment in factories. Workers are recruited through javers and contractors, who exploit them arbitrarily, so in protest against this, workers resort to strike and thus industrial disputes arise.
other reason
Other Causes
In addition to the above reasons (i) the communist ideology stream spreading among the workers; (ii) Instability of cooperative policy and untimely announcements of cheap leaders; (iii) a constantly rising price level; (iv) conflict between labor unions; (v) Labor-unions not being recognized by the owners; (vi) Industrial disputes also arise due to the presence of labor unions among the labor unions competing for representation, and (vii) insulting the leaders of the labor unions, etc.

Questions 1. What are the objectives of the Industrial Conflict Act, 1947.
The basic objective of the Post-Industrial Conflict Act, 1947 is to make the relations of workers and servicemen cozy and at the same time build a class system so that disputes can be resolved and differences do not arise between workers and managers. The basic objectives of this act are as follows:
(i) To establish a cordial and friendly relationship between the workers and the employer and try to maintain them. .
(ii) To create such a system by providing the right to form an organization between the worker and the worker, between the worker and the worker, between the worker and the worker, for the purpose of investigation, dispute resolution and compromise. To be fulfilled –
(iii) Prevention of industrial evils such as illegal strike and lockouts
(iv) To try to provide relief from the situation arising out of forced leave or retrenchment of workers.
(v) To provide workers with the right to collective bargaining and encourage them for this.
(vi) Do not let industrial production fall due to labor unrest.
(vii) To establish industrial peace in the country.
In India, the Labor Appellate Tribunal gave the following objectives of the Industrial Disputes Act while giving a ‘decision’ in a dispute.
- To remove conflicts between employers and workers.
- Do not allow strikes and locks.
- To establish industrial power in the country.
(iv) Not to let the industrial production of the country decrease due to unrest among the workers.
Question 2. Explain the difference between the Working Committee and the Board of Conciliation.
Industrial Conflict Act 19.1 42 Hence industrial power gets dissolved, production starts decreasing, production expenditure continuously increases and poor labor has to face severe economic difficulties due to reduction in income. Not only this, due to lack of daily working commodities in the market, four markets are dominated, due to which consumers also face many difficulties.
