    Emerging Trends of IR

    Uploaded by

    Meenakshi Choudhary
    The document discusses changes occurring in industrial relations in India. Traditional union-focused industrial relations are giving way to emerging employee relations focused on business imperatives of the market. Key changes include weakening trade unions, decentralizing collective bargaining, increasing non-union and contract work, performance-based variable wages replacing fixed wages, reduced job security, and a more employer-friendly stance from the government and judiciary. These trends reflect a shift towards prioritizing business needs over traditional labor protections.

    Changing Dimensions of Industrial Relations in India-

    Emerging business scenario has brought in new market imperatives. The traditional IR system
    is under unprecedented pressure because it is not geared to meet this. A market determined
    profile of Industrial Relations is required to meet the challenges of the market. Therefore,
    traditional IR is giving way to emerging employee relations. Some of the features of this
    phenomenon are
    given below:
    The institution of trade union is getting weak. Employers are going for unitarism and
    non-unionism. In IT and ITES, there are hardly any TUs.

    The insticution of collective bargaining is being decentralised and being replaced by unit
    bargaining, individual bargaining and commercial bargaining.
    Disinvestment/Privatisation and VRS are almost accepted facts of Industrial Relations.
    Changing Pattern of Compensation /Rewards Management Fixed/Assured time rate
    wages are replaced by Variable/Performance-based wages.
    Well
    paying secure, low-productive jobs in organised sector are replaced
    more insecure productive jobs in unorganised/self-employed sectors.
    by low-paying

    Pro-labour stance of the Government is getting reduced. This can be clearly seen by the
    terms of reference of first National Commission on Labour 1969 and second National
    Commission on Labour in 1998. This can also be seen by the recommendations of 2nd
    N.L.C. The second National Commission on Labour clearly stipulates the employment
    of Contract Labour on all the activities of organisation including core activities. It also
    stipulates the retrenchment of workmen without obtaining government permission, where
    the strength of an organisation is less than 300 workmen. There are many such
    recommendations. The establishment of "special economic zones" is another point which
    shows the attirude of the Government towards the emerging business scenario. In a nut-
    shell, the Government is aligning its labour policies with business imperatives.
    The attitude of judiciary is also changing. The recent judgments of the Supreme Court
    about Contract Labour in the Steel Authority's case (2001) and the Tamil Nadu Goverament
    case on strike (2003) sent clear messages to the unions that they mean business.
    There is a
    proposal for Labour Law simplification/codification.
    There is a vend to make employer-friendly conciliation.
    There has been case in labour
    inspection.
    There has been use of Section 10 (3) of IDA strikes
    declaring illegal.

    All these activities have become regularfeatures and are increasingly impinging on the
    E.Rs. This trend is going to be accelerated, in future.
