| Summary |
Disputes in domestic and multinational companies in India are on a rise since 2008. It is not sure whether the labor unrest is here to stay or it is just a side effect of the toppled economy. Citing a plethora of faults with employers, the labor community, represented by various organisations ranging from local trade unions to officers' associations continuously engaged themselves in strikes and protests. Indian economy which is about to lean heavily on service sector would get affected if the problem is not solved soon. While Jet Airways' pilots went on a strike for 5 days, there were millions of passengers who landed up in trouble. The results? Bad reputation for both - the company and the employees plus great monetary loss. While India's age old labor laws stand safeguarding the interests of the supposedly less powerful 'employee' community with a few amendments over the years, ironically, the labor unrest is growing in the country. Is it time to modify India's labor laws? Who is on the wrong side, employees or employers? The case study deals with the labor laws in India and its effect and influence in the modern day trade unions and businesses. Explaining the case of Jet Airways labor dispute in 2009, the case brings in the issues of increasing labor discontent and makes a case for why a major reform in labor legislation is required |
