Collective Bargaining and Labour Consciousness in North Bengal Tea Gardens: An Empirical Study of Awakening and Unawakening among Plantation Workers

Abstract

This study is about how collective bargaining's changing and how it affects labour rights and industrial relations in the tea plantation industry. The people doing
this study used a lot of information some of which they got directly from tea estates and some of which they got from other places. They used numbers to understand
the information like looking at percentages and averages. They also looked at how different things are related to each other. This study is important because it looks
at how collective bargaining is working in the tea industry today and what problems workers are facing. The people doing this study hope that what they find out
will help the people in charge make decisions that will help workers and make the tea industry work better. The study is focused on the tea estates in North Bengal.
The goal is to make things better, for workers and to have good industrial relation.
