possible when the industry functions smoothly
without any disturbances. This means industrial

providing conditions congenial to the industrial
peace.

16.  The labour demands for fair return is expressed in
varied forms; e.g. increase in wages, resistance to
decrease in wages and grant of allowance and
benefits etc. If a laborer wants to achieve these gains
individually, he fails because of his weaker bargaining
power against the sound economic footing of the
management. Therefore, the economic struggle of
labour with capital can be fought collectivity by
organised labours.
 The main aim is to settle these type of disputes.
