DLC asks Tata Motors Jamshedpur for regularisation plan of 3500 temporaries in 3 months 

Jamshedpur, October 8:  In a major development  deputy labour commissioner, Jamshedpur Rakesh Kumar has asked Tata Motors management to submit a plan or package for regularisation of 3500 temporary workers (known as by-six) in three months.

Advocate Akhilesh Srivastava gave the above information in a press conference on Sunday.

Akhilesh Srivastava said that a writ petition was filed in the Jharkhand High Court on behalf of the company’s temporary employee Officer Javed.

On June 17, during the hearing in the court of Justice Anubha Rawat Chaudhary in the High Court, the Deputy Labor Commissioner was ordered to decide after hearing both the parties on the application whether this issue can be implemented directly as per the order of the Bombay High Court or it can be If the facts are different as per the sections of the Industrial Disputes Act.

The court had disposed of the writ petition by ordering both the parties to appear before the Deputy Labor Commissioner on June 30.

After this the case was heard by the Deputy Labor Commissioner. Considering the number of vacancies in the company and the efforts being made by the management every year towards regularisation, the Tata Motors management was directed to submit a plan/package within the next three months to make all the remaining temporary employees permanent as soon as possible.

Akhilesh Srivastava alleged that Tata Motors has been engaged in unfair labor practices for the last three decades. This company employs workers fraudulently for work of permanent nature and keeps them as temporary workers for years, gives them less salary and allowances as compared to permanent workers and thus not only exploits the workers but also violates the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act.
