Retired employees association’s plea dismissed
Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: An association, which exclusively comprises retired employees, has no locus standi to participate in discussions relating to wages and other service conditions of existing employees, the Madras High Court has said.
Justice K. Chandru, dismissing a writ petition filed by the Tamilnadu Transport Corporation Employees Welfare Association, said: “A reference to Section 2(k) of the Industrial Disputes Act will clearly show that an industrial dispute means any dispute or difference relating to employment or non-employment or the terms of employment or with the conditions of labour between workmen and employees.”
The petitioner-association which comprised employees who had worked in the State-owned Transport Corporations, sought a direction to the authorities to invite the association for wage and other service-related discussions. Besides the State Government, the petitioner had impleaded the Managing Directors of various zonal transport corporations as respondents.
Rejecting the plea, Mr. Justice Chandru said none of the members of the petitioner-association was a ‘workman’ within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the ID Act. He said: “Section 2(s) defines the term ‘workmen’ and also includes persons who are dismissed, discharged or retrenched and a dispute regarding pending issues can also be considered as workmen within the inclusive definition.”
