INTRODUCTION

Introduction:-

MBA

Labour welfare is an important facet of industrial relation. After labours have been hired, trained,

and remunerated, they need to be retained and maintained to serve the organization better.

Welfare facilities are designed to take care of the well-being of the labours; they do not generally

result in monetary benefits to the labours. Nor are these facilities provided by employer alone.

Government and non-government agencies and trade unions too, contribute towards labour

welfare.

The need and important of labor welfare is being increasingly appreciated throughout the

civilized world. The worker both in industry and agriculture cannot cope up with the pace of

modern life with minimum sustainable amenities. He needs an added stimulus to keep body and

soul together. Employers have realized the importance of their role in providing these extra

amenities.

Each employer depending upon on his priorities gives varying degrees of importance

to labor welfare. It is because the government is not sure that all employers are progressive

minded and will provide basic welfare measures that it introduces statutory legislation from time

to time bring about some measures of uniformity in the basic amenities available to Industrial

workers.

CHAPTER- 2

LITERATURE RVIEW

Meaning And Definitions of Labour Welfare:-

MBA

Labour Welfare has been defined in varies ways. Though unfortunately no single definition has

been found universal acceptance .The oxford dictionary defined labour welfare as “Efforts to

make life worth living for workers”.

Prof. Richardson defined labour welfare as arrangement of working conditions , organization of

social and sport clubs and establishment of funds which contributes to the workers health and

safety components and efficiency , economic ,security ,education and recreation.

Prof. S .D . Pinker has been defined as “Labor Welfare is also understood mean such services

facilities and amenities which may be established in industries to enable person employed there

in to perform their work in healthy and congenial surrounding and to promote them with

amenities to conduct good health and good moral.”

A significant definition describes labour Welfare works as “the voluntary efforts of the employer

to improve living and working condition of these labours. The underlying assumptions of course,

being that the first essential to the welfare of the labours, on steady work a fair wage ,responsible

house of labour.

Labor welfare has been defined in several ways and therefore understood various ways in various

countries.

The term welfare is one with lead itself to various interpretations and it has not always the same

significant in different countries. Author defined give to the welfare work that it is anything for

the comfort and improvement, intellectual or social of the labours over the wages paid, which is

neither necessary of the industry nor required by law.

Then welfare work can be defined on work for improving the health safety generator well being

and the industrial efficiency of the workers beyond the minimum standards laid down by the

factory act and the another legislations. The whole fields of welfare is one which must can be

done to combat the sense of frustration of the industrial workers to relieve of personal and family

worries to improve his health to make him offered means of self expression to after him. Same

spears in which can be excel all other help him winder connection of life.

Today in competitive market , everyone aims to profit human beings are the most important

factors of production in order to facilitated the satisfaction of human being these welfare

measures are very important.

Importance of Welfare Work in India:-

MBA

Labour welfare work got importance because of the following reasons.

1) The welfare activities influence the sentiments of the workers when worker feels that the

employers and the state are interested in their happiness ,his tendency to grouse and grumble

will steadily disappear. The development of such feeling paves the way for industrial peace.

2) The provision of various welfare measures makes the worker realize that they also some

stake in the undertaking in which they are engaged and so think thrice before taking any

reckless action which might prejudice the interest of undertaking

3) The welfare measures like cheap food in canteens, free medical and educational facilities etc.

Indirectly increase industrial dispute the real income of the workers. Hence they try to avoid

industrial dispute , as far as possible and do not go on strikes on flimsy grounds

.

4) Welfare activities will go a long way to better the mental and moral health of workers by

reducing the incidence of vices of industrialization.

5) Welfare activities will reduce labour turnover and absenteeism and create permanent settled

labour force by making service attractive to the labour.

6) Welfare measures will improve the physique , intelligence morality and standard of living of

the workers which in turn will improve their efficiency and productive

Principles of Labour Welfare:-

Certain fundamental considerations are involved in the concept of labour welfare. The following

are the more important among them.

1. Social responsibility of industry:-

MBA

This principle is based on the social conception of industry and its role in the society that is, the

understanding that social responsibility of the state is manifested through industry. It is assumed

that labour welfare is an expression of industry’s duty towards its labours. Social responsibility

means that the obligation of the industry to pursue those policies, to take such decisions, and to

follow those lines of action which are desirable in terms of the objectives and values currently

obtaining in the society. The values of the Indian community are enshrined in the constitution of

the country. Labour welfare is not embroidery on capitalism nor the external dressing of an

exploitative management; rather, it is an expression of the assumption by industry of its

responsibility for its labours (Maurice Bruce, 1961). Industry is expected to win the co-operation

of the workers, provide them security of employment, fair wage, and equal opportunity for

personal growth and advancement, and make welfare facilities available to them.

2. Democratic values:-

The principle of democratic values of labour welfare concedes that workers may have certain

unmet needs for no fault of their own, that industry has an obligation to render them help in

gratifying those needs and that workers have a right of determining the manner in which these

needs can be met and of participating in the administration of the mechanism of need

gratification. The underlying assumption to this approach is that the worker is a mature and

rational individual who is capable of taking decisions for him/her.

3. Adequacy of wages:-

The third principle of labour welfare is adequacy of wages; it implies that labour welfare

measures are not a substitute for wages. It will be wrong to argue that since workers are given a

variety of labour welfare services, they need be paid only low wages. Right to adequate wage is

beyond dispute.

4. Efficiency:-

The fourth principle of labour welfare lays stress on the dictum that to cultivate welfare is to

cultivate efficiency. Even those who deny any social responsibility for industry do accept that an

enterprise must introduce all such labour welfare measures which promote efficiency (Marshall,

1950). It has been often mentioned that workers’ education and training, housing, and diet are the

MBA

three most important aspects of labour welfare, which always accentuate labour efficiency. Re-

personalization. Since industrial organization is rigid and impersonal, the goal of welfare in

industry is the enrichment and growth of human personality. The labour welfare movement seeks

to bring cheer, comfort, and warmth in the human relationship by treating man as an individual,

with quiet distinct needs and aspirations. Social and cultural programmers, recreation and other

measures designed after taking into consideration the workers’ interests go a long way in

counteracting the effects of monotony, boredom, and cheerlessness.

5. Co-responsibility:-

The fifth principle of labour welfare recognizes that the responsibility for labour welfare lies on

both employers and workers and not on employers alone (Mouthy, 1958). Labour welfare

measures are likely to be of little success unless mutuality of interest and responsibilities are

accepted and understood by both the parties, in particular the quality of responsibility at the

attitudinal and organizational level. Totality of welfare The final principle of labour welfare is

that the concept of labour welfare must permeate throughout the hierarchy of an organization,

and accepted by all levels of functionaries in the enterprise.

Scope of Labour Welfare Work:-

It is somewhat difficult to accurately lay down the scope of labour welfare work, especially

because of the fact that labour class is composed of dynamic individuals with complex needs. In

a world of changing values, where ideologies are rapidly undergoing transformation, rigid

statements about the field of labour welfare need to be revised. Labour welfare work is

increasing with the growing knowledge and experience of techniques. An able welfare officer

would, therefore, include in his welfare programmed the activities that would be conducive to the

well-being of the worker and his family. The test of the welfare activity is that it removes,

directly or indirectly, any hindrance, physical or mental of the worker and restores to him the

peace and joy of living the welfare work embraces the worker and his family The following list,

which is by no means exhaustive, gives the items under which welfare work should be conducted

inside and outside the work place.

MBA

I. Conditions of work environment:-

The workshop sanitation and cleanliness, humidity, ventilation, lighting, elimination of dust,

smoke, fumes and gases, convenience and comfort during work, operative postures, sitting

arrangements etc; distribution of work hours and provision for rest times, breaks and workmen’s

safety measures.

II. Workers health services:-

These should include factory health centre; medical examination of workers, factory dispensary

and clinic for general treatment; infant welfare; women’s general education; workers recreation

facilities; education, etc;

III. Labor welfare programmed:-

welfare departments; interview and vocational testing; employment, follow-up, research bureau;

IV. Labor’s Economic welfare programmed:-

These should include co-operatives or fair price shops for consumer necessities; co-operative

credit society, thrift schemes and savings bank; health insurance; employment bureau; etc.

Classification of Labour Activities:-The labour Welfare activities may be classified as under:

1) Statutory:-

Every welfare promotes the welfare the labour by securing and protecting a social order in which

justice, social, economical, political, confirms with all the institutions of the natural life. For this

some legislation are passed and it is essential for all the employers to follow the provisions of the

Acts and Rules. These legislative measures generally regulate working conditions, minimum

wages, safety and sanitation. Such statutory provisions are gradually increasing with the

industrial development in the countries.

MBA

2) Voluntary:-

for their workers at their own. These activities are not statutory but the labours undertake these

activities because they increase the efficiency of the workers and maintain the industrial peace.

3) Mutual :-

betterment .Welfare activities undertaken by the trade unions are included under this head.

employers inside the factories e.g. sanitary conditions ,medical facilities ,shelter ,canteens

etc. These activities are the part of working conditions.

and amenities as adequate canteen rest recreation facilities and sanitary and medical facilities

arrangements for travel to and from work for the accommodation of workers employed at a

distance from there homes and such other services amenities and facilities including social

security measures as contribute to improve the conditions under which workers are labour.

According to the labour investigation committee (1946) labour welfare means anything done for

intellectual, physical more and economic betterment of the workers, whether by labour by

government or by other agencies over and above what is laid down by low or normally expected

on the part of its contracted benefit for which workers may have bargaining

MBA

Merits And Demerits of Welfare Measures:-

Labour welfare is justified for several reasons. It is desirable to recollect the services of a typical

worker in this context.

His/her labour helps dig and haul coal from the depths of the earth to fetch and refine oil , to

build dams and reservoirs, to lay pipes, canals, railway lines and roads. His/her labour creates

and transmits power, and through various phases of manufacturing, patterns raw material into

finished products of necessity as well as luxury.

Welfare may help minimize social evils, such as alcoholism, gambling, drug addiction and the

like. A worker is likely to fall a victim to any of these if he /she is dissatisfied or frustrated.

Welfare facilities tend to make the worker happy , cheerful and confident looking.
