ABSTRACT:

          Unfair labour practices are defined in the Industrial Disputes Act, 1982, which also outlines specific acts that fall under this category. Addressing such practices is one of the key objectives of the Act. These practices are typically carried out by employers or trade unions and may result in the violation of the rights and protections provided under labour laws. If an employer, trade union, or worker engages in any unfair labour practice, they can be held accountable under the provisions of the Act, which includes penalties and restrictions against such actions. Whether a particular act qualifies as an unfair labour practice depends on the facts, circumstances, and judicial interpretation of each case. Moreover, state governments also implement their own legislation to curb unfair labour practices.
