Abstract
Beginning from the 1990s Industrial
Relations in India has been
challenged to move out of relevance.
This study deals with the
case of the largest private steel
maker in India. The company in
its bid to maintain competitiveness
in a new business environment
altered the dynamics between
worker-employer and worker-worker
relations. We find that the
changes have brought about a
dent in the long-established Industrial
Relations practices in the
organization. However, the company
has managed to subdue the
wave of large-scale worker resentment
by having built a pro
worker image. The changes in the
Industrial Relations scenario in
the company calls for a relook at
new forms of relationship that
thrives amid the fractured Industrial
Relations dynamics.
