Strikes and lock-outs: notice requirements, prohibited timings during conciliation, arbitration and awards, and reporting duties.

Section 62 prohibits strikes and lock-outs in industrial establishments unless statutory notice and timing conditions are met. Employees must give prescribed notice within sixty days and wait fourteen days; strikes are barred during conciliation (and seven days after), during tribunal or National Industrial Tribunal proceedings (and sixty days after), during arbitration with prior notification (and sixty days after), and while a settlement or award operates. Employers face parallel restrictions for lock-outs. Notices are to be prescribed, existing industrial actions must be intimated immediately to specified authorities, and any issued or received notices must be reported to the appropriate Government or authority and the conciliation officer within five days.
