Dear SIA,
I appreciate Sh Umakanthan for nicely explaining the law position and the citation of the judgement in the Secretary, Tamil nadu Electricity Board Accounts Subordinate Union vrs. TNEB [ 1984(II) LLJ 478 (Mad), which suggests that a union cannot claim, as a matter of right,to do the union work during office hours at the cost of his regular duties entrusted to him.
I am of the strong views that in the particular case, such concession should not be extended to them as they have not been declared as 'Protected Workmen' under the provisions of the I.D.Act,1947 rather they are fighting a case against the company for declaration as "Protected Workmen".
