Strikes Justified and Unjustified

Dr. P Venkataramana

Abstract :

 A strike may be technically perfectly legal in that it may not have been resorted to in contravention of the provisions of Section 22 and 23 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, but still the conduct of the striking workmen may be highly reprehensible, disorderly and violent whereas the attitude of the employer may have all along shown complete reasonableness and a desire for conciliation. Similarly, a strike may have been illegal in that it may have been resorted to without due regard to the compulsory compliance of the mandatory requirements of the relevant section of the Act such as, service of notice in the case of public utility service or violation or prohibition of strike during the pendency of adjudication proceedings, but the demands of the striking workmen may be quite legitimate, lawful and justifiable whereas the attitude of the employer may have shown malafides. unreasonableness and motive of exploitation. These peculiar features of the strike situation prompted those responsible for the administration of industrial law to try to classify strikes which are otherwise legal into categories of justified strike and un justified strikes.
