The recognised electrical energy staff’ unions of 4 energy utilities —TS Genco, TS Transco, TSSPDCL and TSNPDCL — entered into an settlement with the managements within the presence of Joint Commissioner of Labour Shyam Sunder Reddy on revision of pay and allowances of staff and artisans under Section 12 (3) of the Industrial Disputes Act (IDA) on Wednesday.
The unions have already signed an settlement with the managements after negotiations held on April 15. The Joint Commissioner said that any strike by the workers following signing of an settlement can be violation of Section 12 (3) of the Act and violations could possibly be dealt under the provisions of Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA).
Representatives of the workers’ unions 1104 (TEEU), 327 (TSEEU), H58 (TRVKS) and 1535 (TSPEU) signed the pact earlier than the Joint Commission of Labour.
