A State government in India wants to pass a law on trade unions and industrial disputes. Under the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution, in which List do the subjects 'trade unions; industrial and labour disputes' appear?
Trade unions and industrial and labour disputes fall in the Concurrent List (List III) of the Seventh Schedule. Both Parliament and State Legislatures may make laws on them, with Union law prevailing in case of repugnancy, subject to constitutional conditions.

- DResiduary list under Article 248
Explanation
Trade unions and industrial and labour disputes are entered in the Concurrent List (List III). Both Parliament and State Legislatures can therefore legislate on them, subject to the rule of repugnancy. The Union List and State List do not carry this entry.
