Understanding Trade Union Strike Notice Periods: What Employers Need to Know

Dear all,

I wanted to know what the notice period is that a trade union needs to give to employers before going on strike. Any other relevant information on this topic will be appreciated.

Viraj

Hi Viraj,

Only public utility establishments are required to give notice before commencing a strike (refer to sections 22 and 23 of the ID Act), i.e., six weeks before commencing.

Thanks,
Nilesh

Hi Rahul & Viraj,

Under the Public Utility sector, services that are used on a daily routine include BSNL, MSEB, PWD, etc. Any employer/owner only entertains such a union that has the majority of membership and is registered under the Trade Union Act. Please note that, other than public utility sectors, a 14-day notice period is required to go on strike.

Thank you,
Nilesh

Dear Viraj,

In fact, Viraj, I was experiencing all the above situations when I was working with a company in Pune. You can refer to the ID Act of 1947.

Thanks,
Nilesh

Rahul: What happened? You didn't reply. Please revert.

Goodbye,

Dear Nilesh Sir,

Please tell me the procedure to register for PF and ESI for a new company setup. Could you provide detailed information on the required forms and documents for registration?

Dear Nilesh Sir,
