Notes:

Explanation –

Statement 1 is incorrect. The right to strike is not considered a fundamental right under Article 21 or any other article of the Indian Constitution. Instead, it is recognized as a statutory right under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The right to strike is subject to certain conditions and regulations, and it is not freely granted as a fundamental right.

Statement 2 is correct. Collective bargaining in India is legally recognized and supported by various laws, including the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, and the Trade Unions Act, 1926. These laws provide a framework for negotiation between employers and employees, typically through trade unions, to determine employment terms and conditions.
