Earlier demand and supply in the labor market settled mutually beneficial bargain between the employer and the workman.

Later workmen found that they did not possess adequate bargaining strength, they organized themselves in trade unions and insisted on collective bargaining with the employer.

Trade unions and collective bargaining created new problems for maintaining industrial peace and production for the society.

Recognizing the rough deal that was being given to the workers by employers who would not define their conditions of service and the inevitability of industrial strife in such a situation, the legislature made an attempt to intervene by introducing the INDUSTRIAL EMPLOYMENT (STANDING ORDERS) ACT 1946.

Experience has shown that 'standing orders' defining the conditions of recruitment, discharge, disciplinary action, holidays, leave, etc., go a long way towards minimizing friction between the management and workers in industrial undertakings.

The Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Bill, 1946 was passed by the legislature and it received the assent on 23rd April, 1946.

It came on the statute book as the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 (20 of 1946)
