Industry plays a vital role in shaping the economy of the country. The field of industrial laws covers a large number of enactments. There is no single Labour Code in our country. We have different statutes dealing with different branches of labor and industrial laws. The present work is a brief commentary on Twenty-one different labor enactments dealing with Labour- Management relations, Social Security legislation and Minimum Standard legislation. This edition has been enriched by incorporating relevant material on Collective Bargaining. Important amendments and recent judicial decisions have also been included in this work.
