Union Agreement Finalization Query

Dear all, I have a query. We are in the process of finalizing the agreement with the union for three years. This is the first time we are doing this. Now, what I want to know is if both parties agree to the terms and conditions of the agreement and it is signed:

1. Does this agreement have to be registered?
2. Do we have to involve a conciliation officer (Labour commissioner)?
3. If we do not involve him, will this agreement be considered sham and fake?
4. What if, after one year, workers ask for changes in the terms and conditions? Can management refuse to do so?

Thanks,

Thank you for your reply, but one question remains unanswered: if the agreement is settled between the union and the employer, do we have to register the same with the registrar's office? Is it mandatory?

Dear Mr.Prahant If you read the Industrial Disputes Act you will notice that the Act does not refer to the registration of the settlements under this Act. With regards

No there is no need to get it registered from registrar office however you will send a copy of settlement/agreement to Conciliation Officer/Labour Commissioner of your area.
