Please Check your definition of Line employees And Staff employees then corellate with Standing Order as well Model standing order of your state/central then you can easily decide that whether a person can join or not a trade union but for your kind information all executive unions are also governed by society act and trade union act just like workers trade unions.. please do not be so much aggressive only because of joining him a union.just make a root cause analysis hy that person joined what may be his future motto then have a talk and first of all read carefully your draft term and conditons of emplyment. ..

Unless otherwise provided in the Standing Orders or the contract of employment, all employees come under one and that is ' employee'. As such, you can not have different treatment also. Likewise, an employee of 'staff category' can join workers union if he feels that his rights will be protected only if he bargains from that union. If you take disciplinary action against such a worker/ employee, it would be a clear indication that ' workers' belong to an unprivileged category and you do not want any of your buddy to go to that category!!!

You can not terminate any person just for this reason. Even this word 'terminate' should also be used carefully. To do this you need to see the standing orders. If the employee has done any act against the company or any fraudulent act, he can be terminated for the same.

we ourself define that he is in staff category .how a technician can be in staff category.as per definition of workmen in industrial dispute act technician is workmen./he does work manually does not have any supervisory powers .

staff may not join the workers union.there is a settle law of supreme court.workers service condition,wage scale,model standing order and nature of work is different.staff is suppose to supervise the workers and maintain the discipline.but once he join hands with the workers then who will do the administrative job.so he can not join with the workers union.

A Management Staff person joining the union means he preferes collective bargaining rather than doing so individually. Take a legal openion and if advocate says its legal, do not give him a rise along with other management staff. let him wait till wage settlement to happen and take a rise.
