| Abstract | This comparative study on industrial disputes in India and Thailand is an exploratory
study, since there is no comparative study made between the two countries in the field of
industrial relations.
Both countries are very different in terms of social, political and economic environment,
but they both have similar machinery in place to handle industrial disputes. Although the
Indian industrial laws are a legacy from its colonial past, something Thailand does not
have, the two countries have a lot in common when it comes to the prevention and
settlement of industrial disputes. The way the laws are implemented by the government
or called upon by the employers and workers does differ, though, from one county to the
other.
Both countries have the necessary framework for keeping industrial peace. The
machinery for preventing industrial conflict is even quite extensive, but especially in
India not very appreciated. In Thailand bipartite ways to settle conflicts are more
effectively used.
When it comes to tripartite settlement of disputes, the government in India would rather
be a little less interventionist and the one in Thailand should enforce its laws and so
intervene some more.
In the end it all comes back to the three actors of industrial disputes. Better understanding
between labour and management, and more appropriate intervention strategies of the
government will help the industrial relations scene in both countries. |
