ABSTRACT

 The right to strike by workers or workers in their place of work is honored as one of the most important means for avenging their grievances. It enables the workers to protest inclusively against their employer in order to bring their issues to notice, especially when there has been a breakdown of normal communication. Strikes are significant as they help correct the balance between capital and labour. still, the right to strike isn’t a Abecedarian Right in India as compared to the rights guaranteed under Part III of the Constitution. This composition analyses the scope of the right to strike and its relationship with Composition 19 of the Constitution. This composition further studies how the right to strike cannot be categorised under freedoms guaranteed under Composition 19(1)(a), Composition 19(1)(b), or Composition 19(1)(c). Also, this composition will further go on to bandy judicial pronouncements of the Supreme Court of India stating that the right to strike by workers isn’t a Abecedarian Right but a statutory right conferred by the council. Later, this composition briefly discusses laws dealing with the Right to Strike, similar to the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, and the Industrial Relations Code, 2020.
