Introduction to the Course-

Labour law seeks to regulate relations between an employer or class of employers and their
workmen. The reach of this law is so wide that it touches the lives of millions of men and women
who constitute the labour force. However it is unfortunate that barring a few statutes such as
Minimum Wages Act, 1948 and recently enacted the Unorganised Workers Social Security Act,
2008, most of the labour laws are, in fact not applicable to the unorganised sector workers which
constitutes about 93 percent of the entire labour force. Further, most labour legislations are more
than 6 decades old. It is felt that our labour laws are over- protective, over- reactive, fragmented,
outdated and irrelevant and have created hurdles in achieving the economic goals, particularly given
the global competition and economic recession. The emergence of globalisation, liberalisation and
privatisation has further brought new challenges. There is therefore great demand to reform the
labour laws.
Legislative and Judicial response to labour problems is often dictated by a diversity of factors which
directly or indirectly operate in the field of labour law. The usual factors are trade at home and
abroad, the ability of manufacture to stand against international competition, the fulfilment of the
needs of the home market and the development of foreign trade. The employment factor in itself is
more important. Industry is generative of employment and, therefore, industrial growth has to be
assured. A balance has to be drawn between the needs of the industry and the need of labour
protection. An overprotected labour may tend to become complacent and rebellious. An over-
zealous trade may indulge in exploitation of the labour. The present course is designed to
understand the Industrial relations in India and to analyse the protections given to the labours
through the existing labour laws.

The objectives of studying this course are-

 To understand the approach to labour laws.

 To study relevant Constitutional provisions to ensure labour protection, protection of basic
rights of labour, effective implementation of labour laws
 To identify the different classes of labour in India.
 To understand the different dimensions of socio economic problems faced by the labors in
India and other countries.
 To evaluate the commitments of the international comity to secure better living conditions
for the workers.
 To critically analyze the constitutional commitments of the Indian government in providing
for social security and other welfare measures to the labors in the changing socio economic
conditions.
 To understand the judicial role in upholding and ignoring the Labour Jurisprudence in

changing socio economic conditions
 To equip the students with the tools for critically analyzing the labour legislations in the
Indian sub continent.
 To make the students aware of the new forms of exploitation of the labours in the era of
Globalization Privatization and Liberalization.
