During the reporting period all our companies, that employ unionised labour followed all pertinent regulations in letter and intent. The Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 is one such statute that applies to labour relations. It specifically mentions a three-week notice period for all operational changes. There are consultation and negotiation opportunities during the notice period. If consent is given, only then can the agreement be signed to reflect the changes. |
