Understanding the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947: How Many Workers Trigger Its Application?

g@ne$h
For example: the Contract Labour (Abolition and Regulation) Act, 1970. This act is applicable where there are 20 or more workmen employed or were employed on any day of the preceding 12 months as contract labour. Similarly, the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, is applicable based on the number of persons (workmen) involved.
