Dear All,

In accordance with the recent amendments to the ID Act by the insertion of Section 9C, the following needs to be done:

Setting up of Grievance Redressal Machinery

9C. (1) Every industrial establishment employing twenty or more workmen shall have one or more Grievance Redressal Committees for the resolution of disputes arising out of individual grievances.
(2) The Grievance Redressal Committee shall consist of an equal number of members from the employer and the workmen.
(3) The chairperson of the Grievance Redressal Committee shall be selected from the employer and from among the workmen alternatively on a rotation basis every year.
(4) The total number of members of the Grievance Redressal Committee shall not exceed more than six:
Provided that there shall be, as far as practicable, one woman member if the Grievance Redressal Committee has two members, and in case the number of members is more than two, the number of women members may be increased proportionately.
(5) Notwithstanding anything contained in this section, the setting up of the Grievance Redressal Committee shall not affect the right of the workman to raise an industrial dispute on the same matter under the provisions of this Act.
(6) The Grievance Redressal Committee may complete its proceedings within thirty days on the receipt of a written application by or on behalf of the aggrieved party.
(7) The workman who is aggrieved by the decision of the Grievance Redressal Committee may prefer an appeal to the employer against the decision of the Grievance Redressal Committee, and the employer shall, within one month from the date of receipt of such appeal, dispose of the same and send a copy of his decision to the workman concerned.

Hence, all organizations have to move forward in this direction. For evolving the model for the machinery, we are in the process of preparing a model.

Dear Rajan & Associates, I would like to know how industries are complying with regulations. Is there a specific time frame for these compliances? What is the current compliance ratio?

Do you think it will be easy to comply with Section 9C(3), which states, "The chairperson of the Grievance Redressal Committee shall be selected from the employer and from among the workmen alternatively on a rotational basis every year," especially given the typical mindset of Indian industrialists?

Warm regards.

The changes in the law are recent; therefore, implementation may be very slow. The provision for the Chairperson to be from both management and the workforce is on a rotation basis. Management may not strictly adhere to this, but it is for the government to monitor the implementation strictly.

Thank you for your views.
