LABOUR UPDATE FOR APRIL, 2011
The 10500 members of internal union of the workmen employed in the Pimpri – Chinchwad – Chikhli Plants of Tata Motors Ltd. at Pune elected their 47 representatives on 9th March, 2011 for a three year period by secret ballot. Mr. Vishnu Newale, Mr. Subhash Hulawale and Mr. Baban Chavan, all shop-floor workmen, have been elected respectively as President, Working President and Secretary of the Union. Established in 1972, the internal union is being run purely by the leadership elected from within the ranks of workers after every three years. Excepting a patch 1998-1990 when external element had penetrated into the union – viz. Rajan Nair leadership – both the management and union have maintained cordial relations consistently and entered into amicable settlements for wage revision after every three years. It is heartening that no collective dispute is pending litigation in any court of law and all the grievances – individual or collective – are being resolved by amicable negotiations between Union representatives and the shop floor management. This institution of workmen is an ideal example of peace and harmony in huge plants like that of Tata Motors.

This is indeed remarkable as it is very difficult to maintain IR specially for wage revision in private sector where well defined policy for wage revision doesnot exist. Thanks... (Kumar Sanjeev)

Dear Mr. Niyaz,
Thank you for sharing. Due to increased awareness among the workers and positive employee relations from the management, this progress has been made as both parties strive to succeed. Previously, unions were often influenced by political parties seeking to benefit themselves. However, the situation is gradually evolving.

Hi,
Since I'm new to the HR field, can anyone tell me about IR? Which book should I refer to or any web address to provide me with notes in a Word file? When I go to attend interviews, they ask me to know about IR. What type of questions may arise in IR? Can anyone guide me as a tutor?
