Dear Seniors, Our management was planning to do layoff workers in one of the factory in tamilnadu which was 25 years old. But it was making huge loses from past 5 years due to Raw material price is tripled, power, competitors, etc..! Right now it is in the position of almost nil income from past 6 months, where production happens of 5 to 10% maximum of that plant's capacity. Some of the ground details of the factory:
1. Permanent workers are 20 and they have labour union.
2. Management spoke to them to downsize the workers to half, but they wanted life time settlement and everyone wanted to leave at single shot, as it will cause internal fight inside their union.
3. Average salary for the workers is Rs. 10,000/- Basic average is Rs. 5000/-
4. Most of all 20 workers are working for 13 to 20 years service.
Management wants to know, what are the basic things is required to start the lay off process. To whom should we inform about this plan? to Inspector of factories or Labor commissioner? On what grounds it will be succeeded.
Please explain.
