This was because employment of women in night shifts was prohibited and children below 14 years could not be legally employed<\/span><\/li>\nSecondly,<\/strong> though it is argued that industry is caste blind because no single caste can provide an adequate supply of labour and because employees are uninterested in caste affiliation, yet workers did not permit the employers to employ workers of untouchable castes.<\/span><\/li>\nThirdly,<\/strong> large number of workers in the industries were those who had no significant claim district in which the industry was located but were returned from different districts as well as neighbouring states. There were, thus, no geographical barriers inhibiting the flow of labour into the industry. The rural social structure (joint family system, etc.) was also not a barrier to one estimate, of the total workers in any industry, about 25 per cent are local, 10 pr cent come from within 100 kins of industry\u2019s location, 50 per cent from 100 to 750 kins and 15 per cent from more than 750 kins. This shows a tendency for industry hands to be drawn from increasingly distant areas. All these features explain the class aspect of industrial labour force in India.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nAnalyzing the \u2018working class\u2019,<\/mark><\/strong>\u00a0Holmstrom has said that<\/strong>\u00a0all workers do not share all interests; rather they share a few interests only. He has also said that it is necessary to draw a class line between the organized and the unorganized sector industrial workers.<\/span><\/p>\nJoshi (1976) also has said that\u00a0<\/strong>organized and unorganized sector industrial workers are two classes with different and conflicting interests. This can be explained on the basis of difference in four factors wages,\u00a0working conditions, security and social worlds.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\nThe wages<\/mark><\/strong>\u00a0depend upon whether the industry is big (more than1,000 workers),small (250-1,000 workers) or very small (less than 50 workers). In 1973, West Bengal laid down different minimum wages for above three types of industries.The big industries pay much more than the small industries because of the economics of scale, unions and worker\u2019s strong bargaining position. Naturally, the interests of workers depend upon the type of industry they work in.<\/span><\/li>\nThe working conditions also affect<\/mark><\/strong>\u00a0the interests of workers. Workers in industries with more pleasant conditions, having safety measures and fewer accidents and less noise and monotony and fatigue, shorter hours, more space, freedom from close control or harassment, a chance of learning something more, canteens and creches and washing rooms have different interests from those which do not provide all these amenities. As such, they work as two different classes of workers.<\/span><\/li>\nSecurity and career chances<\/mark><\/strong>\u00a0also demarcate two classes of workers. A permanent worker has not only a job but also a career while the temporary worker is bothered more about the security of the job. The permanent worker\u2019s career extends into the future but the temporary one remains bogged down into the present The former may plan to improve his job by learning a skill and getting promotion, the latter is terrified of losing his job if he jobs a union.<\/span><\/li>\nLastly, the social worlds\u00a0<\/mark><\/strong>also divide workers in two different classes.The \u2018Social world\u2019 refers to differences in economic conditions,\u00a0life chances<\/strong>, mutual aid and dependence etc.The factory workers in the organized sector have more solidarity ,fewer hostility and less tensions.Their interests and ideology keep them separate from the \u2018outsiders\u2019.

Traditionally, most of the business persons belonged to the trading castes and communities. But when a new link was established between the Indian economy and that of Britain, members of some other castes also joined mercantile enterprises.

Analyzing the \u2018working class\u2019,<\/mark><\/strong>\u00a0Holmstrom has said that<\/strong>\u00a0all workers do not share all interests; rather they share a few interests only. He has also said that it is necessary to draw a class line between the organized and the unorganized sector industrial workers.<\/span><\/p>\nJoshi (1976) also has said that\u00a0<\/strong>organized and unorganized sector industrial workers are two classes with different and conflicting interests. This can be explained on the basis of difference in four factors wages,\u00a0working conditions, security and social worlds.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\nThe wages<\/mark><\/strong>\u00a0depend upon whether the industry is big (more than1,000 workers),small (250-1,000 workers) or very small (less than 50 workers). In 1973, West Bengal laid down different minimum wages for above three types of industries.The big industries pay much more than the small industries because of the economics of scale, unions and worker\u2019s strong bargaining position. Naturally, the interests of workers depend upon the type of industry they work in.<\/span><\/li>\nThe working conditions also affect<\/mark><\/strong>\u00a0the interests of workers. Workers in industries with more pleasant conditions, having safety measures and fewer accidents and less noise and monotony and fatigue, shorter hours, more space, freedom from close control or harassment, a chance of learning something more, canteens and creches and washing rooms have different interests from those which do not provide all these amenities. As such, they work as two different classes of workers.<\/span><\/li>\nSecurity and career chances<\/mark><\/strong>\u00a0also demarcate two classes of workers. A permanent worker has not only a job but also a career while the temporary worker is bothered more about the security of the job. The permanent worker\u2019s career extends into the future but the temporary one remains bogged down into the present The former may plan to improve his job by learning a skill and getting promotion, the latter is terrified of losing his job if he jobs a union.<\/span><\/li>\nLastly, the social worlds\u00a0<\/mark><\/strong>also divide workers in two different classes.The \u2018Social world\u2019 refers to differences in economic conditions,\u00a0life chances<\/strong>, mutual aid and dependence etc.The factory workers in the organized sector have more solidarity ,fewer hostility and less tensions.Their interests and ideology keep them separate from the \u2018outsiders\u2019.
