KARL MARX: CLASS CONFLICT& COMMUNIST MANIFESTO
Origin was the historic Buckingham Mills Case (1920) in which the
Madras High Court granted an interim ban against the Strike Committee
of Madras Labour Union forbidding them to make certain workers to
break their contract of employment, refusing to return to work.
TU leaders found that they were liable to prosecution for bonafide union
activities and it was felt that some legislation for the protection of trade
unionism was necessary.
