This document defines industrial disputes and outlines various machineries that can be used to resolve them, including conciliation, adjudication, and arbitration. It notes that an industrial dispute is any difference between employers and employees related to employment terms or conditions. Conciliation involves bringing parties together through a third party to discuss and reconcile differences. If conciliation fails, the dispute can be referred to adjudicating bodies like labor courts or tribunals for a binding decision. Arbitration is another option where an arbitrator issues an award after parties agree to accept their decision. The document provides details on conciliation officers, boards of conciliation, and various courts and tribunals that handle industrial disputes.
