The economic system of any nation affects the industrial relations, which in turn affect the social order, as economic activity is the central filed of industrial relations.
Remarkably, a man has to struggle with his environment for earning his bread and satisfaction of his material wants.
Industrial revolutions are nothing more than the struggle of men for their material satisfaction. The industrial revolution create imbalance in the society as they prejudicially affect the rights and interests of those sections who work in such industries but do not control it.
It results in inequitable distribution of wealth because means of production are controlled by the dominant section of the society, who exploits the labour to their own maximum benefit.
It is because of these far reaching consequences of the imbalance and disorder in industrial relations and because of the fact that it affect such a large and varied complex of group relationship that it should be realized that very existence of the State Government as protector of the community and as arbitrator of conflicting interest may be jeopardized if it would not to intervene industrial matters to maintain which is necessary for a healthy social order.
In J&K, economic progress is also bound up with industrial peace. Industrial relations are, therefore, not a matter between employers and employee alone, but a vital concern of the community which may be expressed in measures for the protection of its larger interest.
State intervention is also justified to prevent exploitation of the weaker section of the society by the stronger section.
Ironically, industry owners are not only party to be blamed for the industrial disorder, but the state whose duty it is to establish a just social order is equally to be blamed.
Social justice requires that the State for its own existence owes an obligation to the community to bridge the gap between the two classes and evolve a healthy social order.
It is from this fountain of social justice that the necessity of legal regulation of industrial relations has flown. The scope of government legal regulation of the industrial relations depends upon the socio-economic objective that State seeks to attain and these would be reflected in the socio- economic planning and national labour policy.
It is further conditioned by the degree of the existing social imbalance which needs social re-adjustment and the conceived picture of ideals which feed the programme of social justice in the given socio-economic situation.
We in our country are mainly embarking upon industrial and technological advancement. But mere technological advance will widen the social imbalance.
Advancement of knowledge of social science is necessary for reshaping social relationship.
Therefore, the State must endeavor to promote studies and researches in sciences which will help in reshaping social relationship in accordance with principles of social justice and socio-economic objectives.
