Dear Sir,
I am working in a PSU Iron Mine. Our mine supply iron ore to different steel plants. The Steel Plants as well as Mines belong to same PSU.
Now one trade union (affiliated of a Central Trade Union) which was functioning in one of our steel plant, have opened a branch in our mine. Some of our employees have been enlisted as office bearers of this branch committee.
It may be noted that, this branch have not got itself registered as a different union.
Now my question is, whats is the validity of this branch committee as per Trade Union Act? Are they authorised to raise demand on behalf of employees?

Dear Baishaliamit,
In the first place, the PSU owns two distinct industries - iron ore mining and steel plants. So, strictly speaking, the union formed and functioning exclusively for the steel plant can not have a branch in one of the mines. Second, even if registered as a separate union for the employees of the mine in question, the set of office bearers should be constituted strictly as per ss (2) of Sec.22 of the Trade Unions Act,1926 for the purpose of negotiation with the management on any issues concerned.
However, non-registration as an exclusive union for the mine can not take away its right to represent in individual cases.
