PRINCIPLES OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
The International Labour Organisation (I.L.O.) has propounded the principles of industrial relations as under:
1. Free exchange of ideas:
Good industrial relations can be established in an industrial enterprise only when both the workers and employers exchange their views freely and frankly with one another. It helps in determining the specific duties and responsibilities of both parties.
2. To follow the system of collective bargaining:
The system of collective bargaining should be followed in an industrial enterprise. This system helps in the settlement of industrial disputes in a harmonious atmosphere.
3. Mutual Co-operation:
To establish good industrial relations in an enterprise, it is also necessary that there must be an atmosphere of mutual cooperation and coordination between workers and management.
The above principles make it clear that the ILO has stressed the importance of workers. The Employers should feel that the workers are an essential part of the enterprise as the organisational objectives can be achieved only when the workers are satisfied with their job and their organisation. Proper working conditions should be provided to them and they should be motivated to produce better results.
