"Strikes, how to avoid them"

This book covers the complex spectrum of strikes arising out of industrial disputes relating to wages and allowances, bonus, promotion policy, productivity issues, interim-relief cadre schemes, etc. The cases relate to central public sector undertakings, Cochin Refineries, Delhi Textile Mills, Singareni Collieries, Major Port Trusts of India and Indian Cement Industry.

These cases pertain to the industries falling both under central and state spheres, private and public sectors, public utilities and non-public utilities. They graphically describe techniques and strategies and the negotiation skills employed by the conciliator and the parties to the dispute to avert major strikes in vital industrial establishments. And how marathon sessions were held over several sittings with the sole objective of maintaining industrial peace.

This would be a ready-to-consult handbook for managements and trade union leaders operating in industrial and service establishments.
