Labour Rights under Constitutional Law and Their Influence on Industrial Relations

One of the basic purposes of the labor right building is the provision of a minimum standard of living to the workers and to set them free from exploitation and inequality, and to shine light on social justice. Both shielding workers from the excessive exploitation and sharing with them the national wealth and social activities are the two equally important elements in the role of these mechanisms. The constitution of India ensures the safeguarding of labor rights through a two-tiered system constituted of the Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles of the State. The establishment of labour rights is a means of enhancing the dignity and well-being of all the acts of cooperation of the worker population and hence their inclusion in the social scheme of justice. Additionally these rights shelter the workers from exploitation and help them to be equally involved in the economic activities of the communities. The two forms of worker protection, which are the enforceable Fundamental Rights, and the non-binding State Policy Directions, were established in the constitution which has influenced labor laws and industrial relations tremendously. The main discussion of this article is the constitutional tenets dealing with labour rights and their direct and indirect impacts on industrial relations through collective bargaining, dispute settlement, and others. The main focus of the paper is on the dynamic concept of labour rights and the way they are regulated under globalization. The legislative coverage of informal employment as shown through a lack of regulation of labor laws, weakening of trade unions as well as non-implementation of labor laws is the last issue being examined in this text. The paper also presents measures on a neutral, constitutionally based position on industrial relations with a primary concern on the welfare of the worker and the growth of the economy.
