Industrial conflicts: a statistical analysis
Abstract
The long term trends in industrial conflicts may be
interpreted in terms of the factors and events that
have occurred in the political process, certain
developmental factors such as the region in which
the industry is located, techno-economic factors such
as labour intensive or capital intensive industries, the
sector in which the industry is operating, and the
type of issues that have dominated some time or the
other.
This paper deals with the course of industrial conflicts
over the last two decades. The data point
towards factors contributing to the incidence of
industrial conflicts in India. The factors that seem to
provide the congruence are conflicts in labour
intensive industries (textiles and jute), conflicts
manifesting in a radically politically organized region
like West Bengal or regions where major metropolises
of India are situated, crises that have arisen in
particular industries at particular points of time, and
the political developments that have taken place at
different times.
