Abstract

Abstract Labour practices include workplace routines like, the conditions of employment, remuneration, trade union, industrial relations, safety and welfare of workers, labour rights and responsibilities, etc. Labour relations are laced with both fair and unfair practices. This study examines the differences and similarities of labour practices in Nigerian and Indian industries, and how their respective courts interpreted their labour laws. The doctrinal research methodology involving systematic review of current legal propositions, cases, statutes, legislation, policies relating to labour practice in Nigeria and India was adopted. The study finds amongst others that both the Nigerian and Indian Labour industries are fraught with unfair labour practices and the rights of workers are the same, but India explicitly provides imprisonment for employer found guilty of unfair labour practices, and Nigerian labour legislation is silent on that. It concludes by recommending a review of Nigerian labour practice legal framework, reflecting some India’s advancement in labour practice.
