Two Notices under I.D ACT

SARAVANAN.R (Querist) 04 March 2009 This query is : Resolved
Sir,

In I.D ACT, prohibition of Strikes and Lockout is mentined in the relevant sections. My question is why this two notices are necessary.

Please tell me whether I am correct in assuming that In six weeks notice, date is not specified. In 14 days notice, date and time is clearly specified.

Please feel free to answer this.

Dear Saravana
There is some misunderstanding in interpretting the provisions of law. 'within six weeks , means that from the date of notice to the date of strike a period of six weeks should not have elapsed. If six weeks have elapsed then a fresh notice shall be required. The second part is that 14 days time must have elapsed from the date of notice to the date of strike. In other words workmen can go on strike on giving notice after 14 days but within six weeks of notice and after six weeks fresh notice shall be necessary.

Hope to have clarified the matter.
