Respected Seniors
In one Mines the workers without giving any notice during the working hour resorted strike against the behavior of their superior.Further this was not brought to the knowledge of Union but union remained silent.In order to calloff the strike the middlemanagement tries with their due effort.In this connection I may kindly be intimated what type of disciplinary action can be initiated against the workers those who were leading the team.

first, its illegal strict so issued show cause notice stating illegal strike and after receiving cause and if found unsatisfied, put inquiry by third person and see the inquiry recommendation for further action, if found unsatisfied, that may be suspension.
You can go through I.D. Act, disciplinary action procedure to process your action.

Usually mines are declared Public Utility Services under Sch-I to the Industrial Disputes Act 1947 and therefore the workmen are required to give 6 weeks notice of strike. Please ensure that your mine is declared as Public Utility service under Sec.2(n) of the IndustrialDisputes Act. If so, the strike becomes illegal since the workmen did not give any notice.You can initiate disciplinary action under your standing orders aginst delinquent workmen by isuing a chargesheet which shall specify details of the misconduct and calling for their explanation as to why the management shall not proceed ahead as per the standing orders. If their explanation is satisfactory, you may close the matter. If the same is not satisfactory, you can proceed with conducting domestic enquiry by appointing Enquiry officer and Presenting Officer. If the findings of the enquiry hold them guilty of he misconduct, you can pass appropriate order of penalty. Besides, you can deduct wages on no work-no pay basis for the period the workmen were on strike.

No court will uphold an arbitrary termination of workmen for an alleged misconduct. The kind of termination which you have referred to is not known to exist in lindustrial law. Since you have stated that your mine is not declared as public utility service, then on what basis the strike is illegal and if it is not so how you can proceed with disciplinary action agaisnt them, leave alone resorting to "Submirale-termination".In my view, the issues may get complicated.
