Abstract
Malawi and India are developing
countries with industrial relations
systems where workers, at times,
stage strikes without following
required procedures. This paper,
using comparative analysis approach,
examines legal industrial
dispute procedures of the two
countries to explore their complexity
and find common cause of
staging illegal strikes. The paper
reports that the problem of illegal
strikes in Malawi and India
is mainly due to confirmed complexity
of the industrial dispute
procedures. Considering the severe
impacts of strikes on countries’
economies, the authors,
however, recommend that the complexity
is reasonable, necessary
and suitable for developing
countries and thus must be preserved
to ensure that the law
framers’ intention to use strikes/
lockouts only as actions of last
resort is strictly upheld.
