Beyond Negotiation: The Human Art of Industrial Relations

Industrial Relations is not about winning battles-it is about building relationships that survive every battle.
In Beyond Negotiation, G B Halkar draws from over four decades of real-world experience to reveal a deeper truth-Industrial Relations is not a process, but a human art.
From strikes and negotiations to retrenchment, VRS, and workplace discipline, this book presents practical wisdom shaped on the ground, built on trust, respect, and human dignity.
It challenges conventional thinking and introduces a powerful philosophy: "Union Strong, Management Success."
This is not a guide to defeating the other side. It is a roadmap to building lasting partnerships.
