This matter relates to the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Therefore, please refer to section 2(l) for the definition of lockout. For further information on declaring a lockout, please review Chapter V under this Act.
Before going to lock out, the employer should give the employee a 6-week notice, and the employer has to wait 14 days after that before they have the right to lock out the company. A period of 14 days is a cool period for negotiation.
For a strike/lockout, when the employer/employee gives 6 weeks' notice, how can they proceed with a strike/lockout within 14 days of giving notice? (Section 22 of the Industrial Dispute Act 1947) Can someone explain?
Why don't you read the ID Act? It is not advisable to ask basic questions without background knowledge of the topic. Always familiarize yourself with the subject before posing specific queries.
