The Bombay Industrial Relations (Gujarat Extension and Amendment) Act, 1961

General197227 sections

This Act amends the Bombay Industrial Relations Act to update how it applies to workers and employers in Gujarat. It changes who counts as an employee and employer, particularly regarding outsourced work. The law also clarifies rules about strikes, stating that striking for unpaid wages is legal if proper notice is given, but becomes illegal once the employer pays the owed money. Additionally, it allows the state government to withdraw the Act's application to specific industries or areas if needed. These changes aim to balance industrial peace with fair labor practices.
