Central Labour & Industrial Laws by S N Misra Edition 2024

Industry plays a vital role in shaping up 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 labour and industrial laws.

The present work is a brief commentary of Twenty- one different labour enactments dealing with Labour- Management relations, Social Security legislations and Minimum Standard legislations. 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. This book shall be extremely useful to students of law. It shall also cater the needs for those preparing for Business Administration courses or doing specialization in this branch of law.
