https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=195511 The Bombay Industrial Relations Act, 1946 gives primacy to the representative union in industrial proceedings and generally bars individual employees from appearing or acting except through that representative. Sections 32 and 33 do not displace that restriction where the representative union has already appeared, because the statutory scheme is directed to collective bargaining through the recognised union. Allegations about the union's bona fides do not remove the statutory prohibition, and any grievance must be pursued under the Act's own mechanisms. Individual employees therefore had no locus standi to intervene once the representative union was on record, and refusal to implead them was correct in law. en-us Fri, 09 Dec 1977 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 02 Nov 2017 13:14:35 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=195511 The Bombay Industrial Relations Act, 1946 gives primacy to the representative union in industrial proceedings and generally bars individual employees from appearing or acting except through that representative.
