MANAGEMENT PREROGATIVE DURING PENDENCY OF

PROCEEDINGS
Section 33 of Industrial Disputes Act 1947
Conditions of service, etc., to remain unchanged under certain circumstances
during pendency of proceedings
It provides that during the pendency of any conciliation proceeding before a
conciliation officer no employer shall prejudice the workmen concerned in
such dispute and also foe any misconduct connected with the dispute,
discharge or punish, whether by dismissal or otherwise. It also provides that
the employer in case of pendency of a suit instead of any standing orders
applicable or reference to any contract, either express or implied may alter
regarding any matter not involved in the dispute and may also dismiss the
employee in case of any misconduct not relating to the dispute. It provides
that in such scenario where the employee is being dismissed then he shall be
paid wages for one month and appropriate application shall be made by the
employee to the authority before which the proceeding is pending. It further
provides that action as mentioned shall not be taken against the protected
workman, and such protected workman as recognized shall be one per cent of
the total number of workmen employed therein subject to a minimum number
of five protected workman and a maximum number of one hundred protected
workmen.
Section 33A of Industrial Disputes Act 1947
Special provision for adjudication as to whether conditions of service, etc.,
changed during a period of proceeding
It provides that in case of any contravention of the provisions of section 33
during the pendency of the proceedings any employee aggrieved by such
contravention may make a complaint in writing to such conciliation officer or
such arbitrator, labour court or tribunal. It provides that upon receipt of any
complaint such shall be dealt as if it were a dispute referred to or pending
before it, and shall accordingly submit his or its reward to the appropriate
Government.
Section 33B of Industrial Disputes Act 1947
Power to transfer certain proceedings
It provides that the appropriate Government may by order in writing and for
any reasons stated therein may withdraw any proceedings under this act and
may transfer such case to any other Labour Court, Tribunal or National
Tribunal, where such cases may either proceed de novo or from the stage at
which it was so transferred. furthermore, it provides that any Tribunal or
National Tribunal may be authorised by the appropriate government to
transfer any proceeding to any one of the Labour Courts specified for disposal
by the appropriate authority.
Section 33C of Industrial Disputes Act 1947
Recovery of money due from an employer
It provides that in case the workman is owed some money by the employer
under a settlement or an award then in such case the employee shall make an
application to the appropriate Government either by himself or any person
authorised by him or in case of his death, the assignee or heirs. In such case, if
the appropriate Government is satisfied that such amount is due by the
employer to the employee, then it may issue such direction of recovery of such
money to the Collector in the same way as to recover the amount due in case
of land arrear. Further, such application shall be filed within 1 year from the
date on which the money becomes due and may even be filed later subject to
the satisfaction of the appropriate Government. It provides that to compute
the money value of a benefit, the Labour Court as may deem fit shall appoint a
Commissioner who shall submit a report instead of the situation and
accordingly the Labour Court shall determine the amount after considering the
report of the Commissioner along with considering other circumstances of the
case.
