Abstract

<p>Industrial Relations Code, 2020, encompasses important laws concerning the field of industrial relations in India, and it has substantial ramifications for the employment security of Indian workers. This paper provides an evaluation of how the employment security of Indian workers is affected through the analysis of provisions of the Code pertaining to retrenchment, fixed-term employment, standing orders, grievance redressal, and collective bargaining. This evaluation also considers the comparison of these reforms with the previous laws and judgments thereunder. The evaluation will further take into account the Code from the perspective of the fundamental right to livelihood enshrined in Article 21 of the Constitution.</p>
