Gandhian Approach

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx---------------INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND ---------xxxxxxxxxx

DRESS 1 :

Gandhian approach to employer-employee relations is based on the

fundamental principles of truth, non-violence and non-possession. If the
employers follow the principle of trusteeship, there is no scope for conflict
of interests between them and labour.

Workers can use non-cooperation (Satyagraha) to have their grievances

redressed. Gandhiji accepted the workers’ right to go on strike but they
should exercise this right in a peaceful and non-violent manner. Workers
should resort to strike for just cause and after the employers fail to respond
to their moral appeals.

Gandhiji suggested that in the process of resolving

disputes, the following guidelines should be observed:
1. Workers should avoid forming unions in philanthropic
organisations.

2. Workers should seek redressal of their reasonable demands only

through collective action.

3. They should avoid strikes as far as possible in industries of

essential service.
Workers should resort to strikes only as a last resort after all other
legitimate measures have failed.

5. If they have to organise a strike trade unions should seek by ballot

authority from all workers to do so, use non-violent methods and
remain peaceful.

6. When direct settlement fails, workers should, as far as possible,

take recourse to voluntary arbitration.
