Industrial Disputes and Industrial Actions

Industrial disputes refer to conflicts between employers and employees, usually concerning issues like wages, working conditions, or job security. When such disputes arise, workers may take industrial actions, which are measures to express their grievances and seek resolution. Common forms of industrial action include strikes (stopping work) and lockouts (employers preventing workers from entering the workplace). These actions aim to pressure the other party to negotiate and resolve the issues. Collective labor law governs these processes, ensuring both sides follow legal frameworks while striving for fair outcomes and maintaining industrial peace.
