When the settlement is signed by the conciliation officer i.e., asstt. labour commissioner under s.12(3) it is called tripartite settlement and IT IS BINDING ON ALL even if they have not signed the settlement.

Hi dpgunturi

Let us know what is Sec. 12 of I.D. Act:

Sec: 12: Duties of Conciliation Officer: 1) Where any industrial dispute exists or is apprehended, the conciliation officer may, or where the dispute relates to a public utility service and a notice under Section 22 has been given shall, hold conciliation proceedings in the prescribed manner:

Now let us know what is 12 (3) It is an agreement know as TRIPATITE AGREEMENT ( PARTIES TO IT ARE : A) EMPLOYER OR HIS REPRESENTATIVE, B) WORKMEN OR UNION LEADERS, C) THE CONCILIATING OFFICER ( OF ASST. COMMISSIONER OF LABOUR OR ABOVE RANKE)

Sec. 12 (2)The conciliation officer shall, for the purpose of bringing about a settlement of the dispute, without delay investigate the dispute and all matters affecting the merits and the right settlement thereof and may do all such things as he thinks fit for the purpose of inducing the parties to come to a fair and amicable settlement of the dispute.
