In the era of globalization the need to strike a balance between employee security and business requirements has become crucial. Mergers and acquisition laws allow the companies to restructure for various reasons. The Companies Act duly recognizes and protects the interests of the creditors and shareholders, whereas the employees have no say during the merger and they are forced to accept the terms prescribed by the employer during the transfer of an undertaking. This paper examines the extent to which the existing legal regime protects the interest of the employees during the transfer of an undertaking. The paper also gives some suggestions for improving and protecting the labor force during corporate restructuring.References
