Industrial Disputes: Its Causes with Special Reference to Maruti Suzuki India

The potential for conflict exists in all establishments and organizations employing and dependent upon human resources. Whenever an industrial dispute occurs, both management and workers try to pressurize each other to accept their views. The management may resort to measures like lock-outs whereas the workers may counter with strikes, gheraos etc. Though multiple causes can be cited that not only cause turmoil in the industry leading to a loss in production and profits but also affect the trust between the management and workers. This cannot or should not be overlooked. The employer expects profits on the financial investment made whereas the workforces nurture their own expectations. Numerous factors can be identified to be the root cause leading to the disputes and can be classified under various headings. The building of a strong nation is dependent upon a strong economy and to achieve this, an analysis of the basic cause has to be taken into account. Organizations are therefore required to adopt a strategy to curb this conflict at the initial stage. The objective of the present paper is to discuss the various causes of industrial disputes with special reference of Maruti Suzuki India. Cause of the dispute can be one or other but it affects not only the growth of the industry but workers and the economy adversely

Neoarchean-mesoproterozoic mafic dyke swarms of the indian shield mapped using google earth™ images and arcgis™, and links with large igneous provinces

We present dyke swarm maps generated using Google Earth™ images, ArcGIS™, field data, and available geochronological ages of Neoarchean-Mesoproterozoic (ranging in age from ~2.80 to ~1.10Â Ga) mafic dyke swarms and associated magmatic units of the different Archean cratons of the Indian shield which represent the plumbing system of Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs). The spatial and temporal distributions together with the trends of the dyke swarms provide important informations about geodynamics. Twenty four dyke swarms (17 have been precisely dated), mostly mafic in nature, have been mapped from the different cratons and named/re-named to best reflect their location, trend, distribution and distinction from other swarms. We have identified 14 distinct magmatic events during the Neoarchean-Mesoproterozoic in the Indian shield. These intraplate magmatic events (many of LIP scale) of the Indian shield and their matches with coeval LIPs on other crustal blocks suggest connections of the Indian shield within known supercontinents, such as Kenorland/Superia (~2.75–2.07Â Ga), Columbia/Nuna (1.90–1.38Â Ga), and Rodinia (1.20–0.72Â Ga). However, further detailed U–Pb geochronology and associated paleomagnetism are required to come to any definite constraints on the position of the Indian cratons within these supercontinents
