Dialogue ongoing in Nestle labour issue
PANAJI: The labour administration has been taking a pro-active stand to initiate deliberations between the workers of M/s Nestle India Ltd and Nestle Contract Workers Union may respond to the efforts made by the conciliation machinery and desist from continuation of hunger strike. In case the differences persist the union has option to seek relief of adjudication as provided under the Industrial Disputes Act 1947. The labour machinery is committed to address the differences of the employers and employees either through conciliation or adjudication as the case may be. To maintain industrial harmony, legal course could be best option as compared to additional approach.
The assistant labour commissioner, Mapusa has made all efforts to promote an understanding, despite of all facts all the issues raised by Nestle contract workers union cannot be construed as industrial disputes within the meaning of the provision of Industrial Disputes Act 1947.
