The Industrial Disputes (Bombay Provision for Uniformity) Act, 1959

Labour19595 sections

This Act serves as a legislative cleanup tool for the Bombay State. Its primary purpose is to ensure legal uniformity by repealing specific regional amendments—namely the Saurashtra Amendment Acts of 1953 and 1955—that previously altered the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. By removing these local variations, the Act restores the central Industrial Disputes Act to its original, uniform application across the region. Additionally, it introduces stricter penalties for employers who close down industrial undertakings without following proper legal procedures. For the ordinary citizen or worker, this ensures that labor laws are consistent, predictable, and uniformly enforced across the state.
