I had asked some time back if a employee of a foreign funded NGO seek redress of his grievance under I D Act.

The meaning of "Industry" in the Industrial Disputes Act is very wide. With the passage of time, many activities which were not formerly regarded as industrial activity have come under its fold. Now, colleges, schools, and hospitals are also treated as industry. Therefore, if the NGO is engaged in any systematic activity with the cooperation of employers and employees, it will be regarded as an industry. Only sovereign functions are excluded from the list of industry. Defence of the country, raising armed forces, making peace or war, foreign affairs, etc., which are not amenable to the jurisdiction of civil courts only are treated as sovereign functions. As such, all other activities come under the definition of industrial activity.
In view of the above, an employee of an establishment engaged in any non-sovereign function shall come under the purview of the ID Act, subject to the other conditions relating to his role in the establishment as to supervisory or managerial.
