Industrial relations are multidimensional in nature and are conditioned with
three sets of determinants namely:-
Industrial factors(such as govt. policy ,labour law, unions of workers and employers
,power structure, community, etc)
Economic factors(such as types of economic ownership like capitalist, socialist, companyownership, nature and composition of labour force, etc.)
Technological factors
(such as techniques of production, capital structure ,rationalization, etc)
Thus industrial relations are a web of rules formed by the interaction by theGovt., the industry and the labour.

Industrial relations are born out of employment relationship in anindustrial setting. Without the existence of two parties i.e. labour andmanagement, this relationship cannot exist. It is the industry, whichprovides the environment for industrial relations.
Industrial relations are characterized by both conflict and co-operation. So the focus of industrial relations is on the study of theattitudes, relationships, practices and procedures developed by thecontending parties to resolve or at least minimize conflicts.
As the labour and management do not operate in isolation but area part of the large system, so the study of industrial relations alsoincludes vital environmental issues like technology of the workplace,country's socio-economic and political environment, nation's labourpolicy, attitude of trade unions, workers and employers.
Industrial relations also involve the study of conditions conducive tothe labour, management co-operation as well as the practices andprocedures required to elicit the desired co-operation from both theparties.
Industrial relations also study the laws, rules, regulations, agreements,awards of court, customs and traditions, as well as policy frameworklaid down by the government for eliciting co-operation betweenlabour and management. Besides this, it makes an in-depth analysisof the intervening patterns of the executive and judiciary in theregulation of labour-management relations.

In simple words, industrial relations are the outcome of the 'employmentrelationships' in industry, i.e. between employers and labour. Thegovernment of a nation or state influences these relations to a greatextent. Thus, there are three main parties in industrial relations:
Workers and their Organizations i.e. Trade Union : The personalcharacteristics of workers, their culture, educational attainments,qualifications, skills, attitude towards work, etc. play an important role inindustrial relations.
Employers and their Organization: The employers are a very importantvariable in industrial relations. They provide employment to workers andtry to regulate their behavior for getting high productivity from them. Inorder to increase their bargaining power, employers in several industrieshave organized employers' associations. These associations putpressure on the trade unions and the Government.
Government: The Government or State exerts an important influenceon industrial relations through such measures as providing employment,intervening in working relationships. and regulating wages, bonus andworking conditions through various laws relating to labour. TheGovernment keeps an eye on. Both the trade unions and employers'organizations to regulate their behaviors in the interest of the nation.

Low Wages. Low wages have been a perennial problem and have been a source of industrialdispute for years despite the existence of Payment of Wages Act and the Minimum WagesAct. The acts do not seem to be solving the problem due to their poor implementation. Inmany of the factories, workers are still given wages below subsistence level, which leads tohigh degree of dissatisfaction and subsequent decrease in productivity. In many industries,the minimum wages have not been revised at par to compensate for it.
Employment of Women. In the Indian cultural setup, the employment of women is a major problemeven though things have started changing in the recent times. There are special provisionsregarding the employment of women in the Factories Act, which prohibit employment ofwomen during the night shift and also on heavy machinery. Under the Equal RemunerationAct, women are entitled to equality of wages at par with the male workers. Some employersdon't follow the above provisions in letter and spirit and continue to exploit the womenworkers by virtue of their strong position and because of mass illiteracy and superstitionamong the women workers.
Ignorance and illiteracy. Various labour laws that have beer made would be beneficial to theworkers if implemented properly. For this it is important that the workers themselvesunderstand the underlying principles and provisions of the law and demand whatever is dueto them. With high rate of ignorance and illiteracy prevailing among the workers, it car beimagined how many of them know about the laws. It is here that the exploitation of workerstakes place and legal provisions are ignored totally.
Industrial Housing. Another burning issue in the industrial relations field is that of accommodationto the industrial employees. Here the problem is that the firms are not able to provideaccommodation to the employees and further that the house rent allowance (HRA) thatthey provide is not sufficient to keep pace with the ever -rising demands of the landlords
Child Labour. The law requires that no child below the age of 14 is allowed to work in any factory
and the adolescent is not allowed to work in hazardous conditions. The Supreme Court haspassed a ruling strictly prohibiting the employment of children in any kind of factory. But stillone finds instances of violation of law.
