Dr. Venkata Ratnam said there are different approaches to industrial relations: Unilateral view held by feudalistic managements which believe conflict is unnecessary. Radical view held by some unions, which hold the belief that conflict is unavoidable so long as capitalist system of production remains.
He also said that the competition or rivalry is not between management and labour in a company but international where the interests of labour and management of foreign companies compete with those of domestic companies. The technical sessions focused on the success stories of companies like GSK, BOC, Hero Honda, JCB, Oriental Bank of Commerce. The representatives of labour departments from the governments of Rajastan, Haryana and Punjab shared their experiences. The Honda episode in Gurgaon came up for detailed discussion.
