This document discusses industrial disputes and worker participation in management in Bangladesh. It defines an industrial dispute as any disagreement between employers, workers, or their representatives related to employment. Common causes of disputes include political instability, favoritism, poor wages, and unsafe working conditions. The settlement process involves communication, conciliation meetings, arbitration, and potential strikes or lockouts. Worker participation aims to promote cooperation through communication and involvement in areas like supervision, bargaining, and work councils. However, participation often fails due to lack of initiative, ideological differences, and limited representation.
