Under the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the constitution of a Works Committee, comprising equal representation of employers and workers with a maximum of twenty members, is mandatory in every industrial establishment employing one hundred or more workers. Its function is to promote measures for securing and preserving amity and good relations between the employer and workers, and to that end, to discuss matters of common interest and endeavour to resolve differences of opinion. This threshold is distinct from the Grievance Redressal Committee, which under the Code is mandatory for establishments employing twenty or more workers, and is meant for the specific purpose of resolving individual worker grievances rather than broader employer-worker relationship matters addressed by the Works Committee.
