Description
Right comes with responsibility and any one who has a right is bound to perform certain duties also. No right is achieved without responsibility. Employers and employees are like iron and cement in the building of Industry. Numerous laws on labour and industry from the genesis of employment to the modern wages system, and from philosophy and purpose of labour laws to the rights of the employers are all condensed in this book in the simplest possible language and style to make it more comprehensible. The book is purposeful for those who do not have even the rudimentary knowledge of labour problems as is equally useful for those who are well versed with labour laws. It has all new changes in law.
It needs no emphasis to suggest that it is an imperative book for not only the HRD managers but also all others who have direct link with labour. Procedures to be followed while dealing with trade Unions and other local authorities are discussed in detail. Generally due to unawareness of laws and procedures even minor problems snowball into complicated ones. A stick in time saves nine. Judicious and timely action is always fruitful than tons of efforts made ex-post-facto, which is possible only when the controller, i.e., the manager knows which button to push and when. Knowledge and information begets confidence. The purpose of this book is to impart knowledge, provide information and induce confidence among those who are at the helms of the industry so that they are at ease to tackle any of the labour problems. Only then the industrial peace and harmony can prevail. For easy reference various decisions of High Courts and the Supreme Court have been quoted at appropriate places in this book.
