Summary Tamil Nadu was among the few states which worked hard to make the state an investment destination in the post-liberalization era of Indian economy. Involving bureaucratic bodies aimed at industrial development and bringing about transparency in policies, Tamil Nadu's industrial development gained momentum. Soon it became home to many domestic and international business majors, who appreciated the amicable labor relations in the State. But, Tamil Nadu's industrial relations took a severe hit as there was a sudden surge of labor disputes in the state. Four major disputes that involved industrial giants were severe enough to damage the investor-friendly image of the state. With the blame game between the unions and companies continuing, the government is worried about the future investments. It is high time to understand that the strength of industrial relations would directly affect the economic growth of the state. While labor law reforms and amendments of major acts are under consideration, the future investment scenario might become bleak in Tamil Nadu. Among the partners, who is to be held responsible if the economic future of the state is affected; the government, the managements or the unions? The case study analyses the effects of labor disputes on economy and growth of a state. Discussing the growth strategies of Tamil Nadu, the case analyses the reasons for labor disputes in Tamil Nadu. Discussing four major labor disputes in 2009, the case discusses the tarnished image of Tamil Nadu. The perplexing labor laws in the state and the need of a collaborative action from the partners of Industrial development have also been discussed
