Industrial Relations Policy in India has evolved over a period of five decades through a process of tripartite consultations and in the light of then prevailing socio-economic and political conditions and circumstances. Repeated attempts made by the Government to evolve tripartite consensus on long-term vision of labour policies and strategies, rationalizing and reforming multitude of labour laws, fine-tuning the labour policies and strategies, with the liberalized economic policy and allowing a level playing field to industrial organizations to compete with multinational enterprises have thus far not been successful. Human resource is a very critical factor in economic development and a major source of competitive advantage. Our Industrial Relations Policy, should therefore, capitalize this advantage to create national wealth and be friendly to both–labour and business. It very comprehensively deals with multi-dimensional aspects. This book contains 51chapters divided into 4 parts. The erudite and comprehensive coverage of Parts I and II has forty chapters. Serious students of industrial relations, researchers and human resource executives will find the Sections III and IV on futuristic issues, recommendations and guidelines especially very stimulating and rewarding learning experience. In order to help the students to learn new concepts, to understand the problems, and situations, the following new features are included: (a) Objective type questions on different laws, (b) Practical problems on laws, and (c) Case studies. Thus, this book seeks to acquaint the readers not only with the concepts and principles but also the practices.
