Sandeep,
Important management representatives and union office bearers who are authorized to negotiate should be present for the meeting. In collective bargaining, ex-parte decisions are not taken, and hence both the representatives should be present in adequate numbers.

Dear Prashant,
As such, there is no sacrosanct guideline to be followed. But it is advisable to invite names of the "negotiation team" from unions, which ideally should be restricted to 2-4 members. From the Management side, we should also form a "team/committee" including representation from operations, maintenance, finance, and HR. No other members than these agreed members should be allowed to participate in negotiation. Each meeting should be minuted, and all data/information shared should be documented.

For a settlement, the President and Secretary of the union shall be signatories. On the management side, some authorized representatives will be sufficient. If the President and Secretary are unavailable, or in cases where no union exists, five representatives elected by the workmen shall act as representatives of the union and have the authority to sign the settlement.

Dear Prashant,
The rule of thumb is that the number of workmen's representatives (or union representatives) should not be less than the number of management representatives, as applicable in a Works Committee (please refer Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, Section 3).

A peculiar situation is arising: the office bearers are being transferred by the establishment. The Joint Labour Commissioner has called for a conciliation meeting. Can the transferred worker (Office Bearer) attend the conciliation? Seniors, please verify.

Dear Sambasivakamasani,
Why not? If the management is serious about resolving the dispute, then their release from the present posting can be kept in abeyance until the negotiations are over and an agreement is reached.

Dear Prashant,
I endorse the view that the President and General Secretary of the union are a must. In addition, any members of the executive committee could be present. In my experience, it is better to have a wider representation as the acceptability of the decision increases.
