    The role of states in industrial relations has evolved over time. While governments historically followed a laissez-faire approach and did not intervene, by the late 19th century governments began regulating the relationship between management and labor to protect both groups' interests. Now the state enacts laws, sets up tribunals and wage boards, and aims to balance social and economic order through effective industrial relations. The three main actors in industrial relations are workers and their trade unions, employers and their organizations, and the government, which exerts influence through labor policies and laws.

    Role of state in IR
     Government intervention in IR is as old as the
    industry itself. Howe ever, till the 19th century,
    governments everywhere followed the laissez
    faire policy- they left IR to the managers and
    workers who were required to solve the
    problems themselves.
     Towards the end of the 19th century, the
    attitude of the governments changed, and
    intervention became a reality.
     The state, as of today, regulates the relationship
    between the management and the labour and
    seeks to protect the interest of both the groups.

    courts, tribunals and enacted laws to lay down
    norms and to enforce their compliance.

    industrial relations, an imbalanced, disordered
    and maladjusted social and economic order with

    economic progress. It also controls and
    disciplines the parties concerned and adjust
