Due to pursuit of Laissez-Faire policy in economic affairs in the past and faith in promoting autonomy in industrial relations, the government in United Kingdom has followed a policy of non-intervention in the sphere of industry. In this context, find out which of the following is not correct ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
The traditional British industrial relations system was characterized by Otto Kahn-Freund as 'collective laissez-faire', emphasizing state non-intervention, voluntary collective bargaining, autonomous trade unions and employers' associations, and voluntary dispute settlement procedures. Unlike the United States (Wagner and Taft-Hartley Acts) or India (Fifth Schedule of the ID Act), British voluntarism did not rest on a statutory regime policing 'unfair labour practices'.
