Abstract
This paper examines the industrial disputes
settlement mechanisms and social security measures implemented by the Singareni
Collieries Company Limited (SCCL), a leading coal mining company in India. The
research explores the efficacy of grievance redressal systems, bipartite and
tripartite negotiation forums, and legal frameworks in resolving labor disputes
within SCCL. It also assesses the impact of various welfare initiatives such as
health insurance, housing, pension schemes, and employee safety programs that
contribute to the social security of workers. The analysis is based on both
primary data collected through interviews and surveys, and secondary sources
including company reports and labor department statistics. Findings reveal that
SCCL maintains a robust industrial relations framework supported by proactive
trade unions, which contributes to minimizing disputes and fostering industrial
peace. Moreover, the company’s comprehensive social security measures have
enhanced worker satisfaction and productivity. The paper concludes that an
integrated approach combining effective dispute resolution mechanisms with
strong social security provisions is essential for sustaining industrial
harmony and improving the quality of work life in heavy industries like coal
mining.
