Description
The Law of Industrial Disputes provides an incisive, indepth and lucid treatment of every aspect of the law relating to industrial disputes. It dwells on the nature of industrial disputes, the procedure for industrial adjudication, and the powers and duties of the various adjudicatory authorities under the ID Act, as well as specifies the judicial remedies available to both the employer and the employee in an industrial dispute. It also enumerates the special provisions relating to lay-off, retrenchment and closure in certain establishments while also providing a logical and scientific evaluation of judicial precedents.
The author has critically examined a number of judicial pronouncements from the standpoint of industrial jurisprudence, canons of construction and the change in philosophy governing labour-management relations. Moreover, the recommendations of the Second National Commission on Labour (2002) have also been incorporated at appropriate places.
The book is essential for Labour Courts, Industrial Tribunals, Conciliation Officers, Arbitrators, Management Institutes, Industrial Training Institutes, Industries, Industrial Relations Managers, Legal Advisors and In-house Legal Counsels, Trade Unions etc.
