Abstract

India has witnessed rapid growth and development in the employment and industrial relations landscape post the liberalization of the Indian economy in the 1990s, which has had far reaching implications on Industrial Relations. These cumulative changes have implied that there is a lacuna in our understanding of the aspirations of the Indian workforce and the subsequent changes that the field of Indian Industrial Relations is undergoing. Forum for Industrial Relations at XLRI (FIRE@X) organised the 6th Bi-annual National Industrial Relations conference organized at XLRI, Xavier School of Management, Jamshedpur on 11–12 January 2014 on the theme “Changing workforce and transforming IR Scenario”. This conference served as the meeting point of leading industrialists, academics and trade union leaders to share their ideas and experiences and debate on the practices and policies. This article is a commentary on the conference that was organized.
