This book is perhaps the first attempt to study the menacing problem of lockouts in India which have plagued industries in the last three decades. Besides giving an overview of lockouts from 1961 to 1997, the author has made a special study of lockouts in West Bengal - the state with maximum number of mandays lost due to lockouts. The study concludes that while the state has tacitly submitted to the employers to earn higher profits by a system of exploitative eficiency, it has failed to provide economic justice to labour.
