Hello Dear Professionals,

Please help to handle this situation in order to maintain industrial peace in the organization. Some employees have stated that they are going to boycott the canteen services (food/tea/coffee) and will continue working without having any food. Their intention is to settle their charter of demands. How can we legally prevent them from using these tactics?

Your earlier response is awaited.

Thanks and Regards,
Sagar

Dear Sagar,

Every single problem in industrial relations is unique, though the solutions may be many and varied. Therefore, I hope that you will certainly agree with me that whenever you seek some suggestions in this regard from others who are both totally unaware of and unconnected with the problem and your industry, it is imperative that you should provide all the inputs relating to your query.

Can you please let the forum know the following?

What is your industry - a factory, a shop, or an establishment providing services?
How many people are employed therein as workmen?
Whether the workmen are unionized, and if so, how many unions are there?
Whether any particular union is recognized by the Management?
Are you legally bound by the provision of a canteen facility?
Whether the food supplied in the canteen is subsidized or free of cost?
What are the nature of demands in the charter - i.e., relating to all workmen or to a particular section of workmen?
Whether the demands stand covered by any existing settlement or award?
Is there any negotiation, either bilateral or tripartite, on the issues in progress?

Thank you.

From India, Salem
