When we talk of
economic depression, it means a situation whereby the employment phase
fall, but the rates of fall gradually decrease until the circle through
is reached. Unemployment in a country is a situation whereby the
mentally and physically fit men and women can't get a job to do. Any
responsible government must combat the problem seriously. Another main
cause of economic depression of a country is the devaluation of the
currency. By this we mean exchange value of the country currency is
reduced to a lower rate.
By Yesufu (1984); who view industrial
relation (R) as the total sum of labour relation (LR) and personnel
relations (PR), illustrating with arithmetic model of IR = LR + PR
developed by Seward authors. In more details, labour relation (LR)
defines the relationship between labour (trade union organisation) and
management and individual employees. Also, Yesufu located the various
concepts of "employee relations, labour relation and industrial
relation". Even when used interchangeably within the central theme of
employment.
J.T DUNLOP (1958) defines industrial relations as "web
rules" that actors in the sphere of employment working together
Industrial relations as an academic in Nigeria is relatively young and
developing. This has been reflected in the status of organized
literature on the subjects' matter, which has been expanding but
relatively scarce in respect of the key area including the labour
economics aspect.
The whole idea of this research bothers on the
concept of "Welfare Scheme of the Industrial Labour Force" which is
conceptualized as the right of every workforce for freedom to some
rights of social amenities, health and safety outfits and other
facilities in an industrial sociological factory or company.
The
system concept of industrial relations is credited to john Dunlop who
explains that a system of industrial relations is comprised of four main
attributes. These are: major actors, web of rules, contexts and
ideology. The Major actors in a typical system of industrial relations
are recognized as: workers and their organizations. (E.g. trade unions),
managers or employers and their association, government and their
agencies. The "web of rules" is essentially referenced to the semblance
of work rules that are formulated and applied for the moderation of
inter¬actor behaviour in line with the demands of conformity and harmony
in the workplace. The "context" refers to the various situation and
environments of employment that may often produce different patterns of
systems that influence the mode of operation of a specific work
organisation and bind together a system of industrial relations
The

,educational financial support, death benefits, recreational benefits,
