| description | A workman who considers himself dismissed without just cause or excuse by his
employer can make representations in writing to the Director General to be reinstated in
his former employment as provided under Section 20, of the Industrial Relations Act,
1967. As evidenced from the statistics available from the Industrial Relations
Department, the majority of cases referred to the Industrial Relations Department for
conciliation and to the Industrial Court for adjudication, are cases involving dismissal
without just cause or excuse.
This project paper will analyze the overall effectiveness of conciliation proceedings in
dismissal cases under Section 20, of the Industrial Relations Act 1967. This paper will
look at the aspects of the preliminary consideration under the said Section 20 that is the
requirement of being a workman, the 60 days limitation period and the plea of
reinstatement, the procedures involved in the conciliation proceedings, interpretation of
relevant data and statistics from the industrial relations department as well as the
sufferings and problems faced by ordinary workmen due to the outcome of conciliation
proceedings at the Industrial Relations Department.
It cannot be denied that the process of conciliation proceedings need to be reviewed and
reformed in order for it to be more effective as the Industrial Relations Act, 1967 is a
piece of beneficent social legislation. |
