ABSTRACT
Unfair industrial practices are often divided into those applicable to employers and their organizations and those applicable to workers and their organizations. The Industrial Relations Act 1971, in which the unfair industrial practice is solely contained, provides certain basic rights for workers, for employees, and for members of industrial organizations. It also provides machinery connected with trade union recognition and collective bargaining. A registered organization must have rules specifying the powers and duties of its officers and officials and the bodies and officials who can give instructions to members on its behalf for any kind of industrial action, and the circumstances in which such instructions may be given. Section 97 provides that a person himself commits an unfair industrial practice if, in contemplation or furtherance of an industrial dispute, he calls a strike, organizes, procures or finances a strike or an irregular industrial action short of a strike, or institutes, carries on, organizes, procures or finances a lock-out.
