Human Resource Management in the Indian Tea Industry

Human Resource Management in the Indian Tea Industry

Liberalization Privatization and Globalization policy was advocated in India in 1991 under the supervision of P. V. Narasimha Rao the then Prime Minister of India. As a consequence the tea plantation industry was largely affected. It has confronted difficult competition because of the simplification of tariff barriers and the removal of the quantity restrictions on imports. The result of these on the share of export of Indian tea has declined the price has plunged and the profitability has reduced. To remain competitive in the market tea-producing companies have been forced to reduce the various costs especially labour costs. Due to this tea companies are not in a position to fulfil their responsibilities such as health safety welfare and working conditions to the workers. Besides improper recruitment of labour lack of proper training facilities and even irregularities in payment of wages have been increased significantly. As a result 1. 2 million workers in the tea industry to sustain themselves and their families have been adversely affected. This leads to labour unrest and the industry has become vulnerable. The final impact of all these issues spreads to the quality of tea and profitability of the industry in India. This book examines the existing human resource management practices in the Indian tea industry. It adopts a simplified yet comprehensive approach to showcase workforce management in the tea industry. This book will be of value to postgraduate students researchers HR professionals and policymakers in the fields of human resource management business history and industrial relations. | Human Resource Management in the Indian Tea Industry

Rebellion in America Citizen Uprisings the News Media and the Politics of Plutocracy

In a time of rising inequality and plutocratic government citizens’ movements are emerging with growing frequency to offer populist challenges to the declining living standards of masses of Americans and to protest the conditions through which individuals suffer in poor communities across the country. This book looks at the progression of modern social uprisings in the post-2008 period including the Tea Party Occupy Wall Street Black Lives Matter the Bernie Sanders “Revolution ” Trump’s populism the anti-Trump revolt and #MeToo.

Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U.S. Burke and Madison and Their Contemporary Legacies

Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U.S. Burke and Madison and Their Contemporary Legacies

In Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U. S. : Burke and Madison and Their Contemporary Legacies David A. J. Richards offers an investigative comparison of two central figures in late eighteenth-century constitutionalism Edmund Burke and James Madison at a time when two great constitutional experiments were in play: the Constitution of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the U. S. Constitution of 1787. Richards assesses how much as liberal Lockean constitutionalists Burke and Madison shared and yet differed regarding violent revolution offering three pathbreaking and original contributions about Burke’s importance. First the book defends Burke as a central figure in the development and understanding of liberal constitutionalism; second it explores the psychology that led to his liberal voice including Burke’s own long-term loving relationship to another man; and third it shows how Burke’s understanding of the political psychology of the violence of “political religions” is an enduring contribution to understanding fascist threats to political liberalism from the eighteenth-century onwards including the contemporary constitutional crises in the U. S. and U. K. deriving from populist movements. Mixing thorough research with personal experiences this book will be an invaluable resource to scholars of political science and theory constitutional law history political psychology and LGBTQ+ issues. | Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U.
