Abstract
Description
Labor & Industrial Laws have been a fundamental part of the legal curriculum. The course is taught not only in three-year and five-year law degree programs but also in human resource specialization within business administration degrees. For several decades, the reformation of multiple labor laws into a unified set of codes had been a topic of discussion, based on reports submitted by the National Commission on Labor. The introduction of new codes has simplified the complex landscape of existing labor laws. The present book offers a detailed insight into these new codes, making it a significant contribution to the field of labor law. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the new codes along with jurisprudential developments, including judgments under existing labor laws that remain relevant under the new codes.
The book has been updated and revised and is divided into two parts. This first part covers industrial disputes, factories, trade unions, employee compensation, employment standing orders, child and contract labor, apprentices, and fatal accidents across 10 chapters. Part II will address labor laws related to wages, gratuity, provident fund, maternity relief, and other social security laws. The book is an essential resource for students, professionals, and academicians with a deep interest in the subject.
