Industrial dispute act

Hi Expertise,

While reading definition of Idustrial Dispute under ID ACT,1947; There is a point " dispute should be connected with 2.conditions of labour of any persone" & 3. "the dispute may be in relation with workman or workmen or any other person in whome they are interested"

Can anyone plz explain the meaning of these line with example because for me I am not able to understand the motive/meaning behind these lines.

Kindly Help.

Regards,

Jsavani.

Mr.Jiger,

1.There must be a dispute or difference

2. The dispute or difference should be between, employers and employers or employers and workmen or worken and workmen

3. The dispute or difference must be connected with the employment or non-employment or the terms ofemployement or the conditions of labour of any person.

The object of ID Act is to maintain industrial peace. Therefore an Industrial dispute is a collective dispute meaning thereby that a redressal of grievance of an individual workman can be addressed by an industrial court when it is sponspred by a group of workmen. usually there is union of workmen in an industry. But if the employee does not have a union where he is working, his dispute can be taken up by a union of workmen in similar industry. for example if an employee is working in a newspaper establishment where there is no union, his dispute can be sponsored by another union of newpaper employees/ journalist..

Industrial dsipute should be in relation to conditions of service. ie in relation to working hours/wages/ weekly off/ overtime/ holidays etc. So a dispute which has no relevance to his employment can not be referred for adjudication. for example if a union asks for releiving its executives to attned court cases and is declined by employer, it will not be an Industrial Dispute.
