The present study explores the ways of agitation change with change of workforce in Maharashtra. During the study it has been understood the concept of Industrial relation with a major focus on strikes and lockouts is a complex subject with legal frame work. This study also helped in understanding the ways of settling the disputes through different processes like – arbitration, conciliation and adjudication. The study helps in understanding the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 with major focus on the Strikes and Lockouts. There is a dip in the number of cases of strikes and lockouts but on other hand, there is an advent of Knowledge workforce. With the new reforms presented by government by introducing the labour code bill 2019, still the chances of increasing number of disputes by knowledge workforce is very high.
