Dear,
As per the ID Act of 1947, Section 9 Clause C, where 20 or more workmen are employed, there should be a Grievance Redressal Committee. There should be one member from each side, not exceeding 6 members in total.
From the workers' side, the selection will be done by their union or through election. Members will be on a rotational basis every year.
Thanks & Regards,
