2. Upon receipt of the reference, it was registered as IT/10/2020 and registered A/D notices were issued to both the parties. Pursuant to service of notices, Party I filed Claim Statement at Exhibit 3.

3. In short, the case of the Party I is that the Party I is a registered Trade Union registered under the Trade Union's Act with its registered address at Mumbai, presently represents all the workmen concerned in the present dispute. This Union has formed a unit Committee of the workers of the Sanofi India Limited (for short Goa Unit) which represents the workmen on day to day matters, issues and the grievances of the workmen.

4. The Party I further stated that Party II is in the business of manufacturing medicines for the treatment of the patients in several therapeutic areas such as diabetes, cardiology, consumer health care, hospital, central nervous system, anti-histamines, etc. The products manufactured by the Company in India are sold in India as well as exported to many developed as well as developing countries and the Goa Plant includes a brand--Global Development Centre which has the capacity to develop solid dosage formulations for the needs of Whintrop and the Asia-pacific basebusiness. The Goa Unit belongs to the Pharmaceurticals Intercontinental operational unit. The Company employs a very large workforce and there is increase in its business activities and profits year to year and is financially very sound. 5. The Party I states that the said Company started attempting to disrupt the unity of the workmen from the time the new committee of the Union was selected and from the time the workmen joined the Party I Union and in the year 1998 the Party II had employed 21 Operators in the manufacturing of the products on regular basis and Party II had also employed seven Supervisors/ /Executives for supervising the work of the Operators who were working under the Production Manager. The Party II had employed casual/ /temporary workers, fixed term contracts and through the Contractors who were doing regular work, skilled and unskilled, entrusted to them and such workers were given artificial breaks in order to avoid making them regular though they were doing regular jobs with the Party II and besides these categories of employees, the Party II had no other employees as Management Associates. It is further stated that the Party II started the second shift working from about 2000 for commissioning new Plant I and recruited additional Operators on temporary basis for manufacturing process. That after starting the second shift, the total strenght of regular Operators were about 32 and were rotated in two shifts. The first shift was resheduled as 8.00 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. and the second shift was scheduled from 4.00 a.m. to 12 midnight. That in the year 2007 the Plant I was expanded and additional machines were installed to increase the production and on expansion, the Party II employed about 36 additional Operators including the temporaries for the purpose of manufacturing and in the year 2008 the Party II had employed about 60 Operators on regular basis for doing the regular manufacturing processes in two shifts.

6. The Party I states that the Par ty II commissioned Plant II in the year 2013 and is called manufacturing II (for short Plant II). The Party I states that the process of manufacturing in Plant II is the same and that about seven Operators who were working in Plant I were shifted to Plant II and were doing the same jobs which were done in Plant I. The Party I also states that the workmen of the Party II had formed an Union under the name Hoechst Marion Roussel Goa Plant Employees Union and registered the same under the Trade Unions Act, 1926 under No. 400 dated 08-03-2001. The said Union had signed a settlement on the Charter of Demands on 26-12-2001 which was effective from 01-01-2001 to 30-06-2004. The Operators thereafter joined the membership of the Goa Trade and Commercial Workers' Union (AITUC) in the year 2004 and had signed two settlements dated 30-12-2005 and 24-12-2008 with Party II on the Charter of Demands. The workmen resigned from the said Union and joined the Goa Kamgar Karmachari Sena and thereafter joined the Party I Union.

7. The Party II on realising that the Operators have joined the Party I Union, the Party II discontinued employing the workers as Operators and started employing the workers with the designation as Management Associates with higher benefits then what is paid to the regular Operators though the nature of the work done by the said Associates was the same as that of the Operators. The Party I further states that in the year 2012, the Party II started the 3rd shift from 12 midnight to 8.00 a.m. on the next date. Thus, from the year 2012, the process of manufacturing was continued in three shifts and was being carried out by about 150 Operators, including Operators designated as Management Associates, employed on regular basis. The Party I states that besides the regular Operators, the Party II has also employed Operators, as casual, temporaries, Fixed Term Contract and through Contractors to do the same work which is done by the regular Operators.

8. The Party I further states that on account of introduction of the third shift from 2012, the Party II employed additional Operators with the designation as "Management Associates"and the said Management Associates are also working as Operators with the regular Operators and are doing the same work as is done by regular Operators and that some of the Management Associates are relievers of the Operators. The Party I states that some of the Operators, who were members of the Union and who had left the membership of the Union, were re-designated as Management Associates and were granted Special Allowance in additional to their normal wage and thereafter around the year 2013/14, they were promoted as Supervisors/Officers and the Party II presently employs about 230 Operators on regular basis besides casuals, temporaries, Fixed Term Contracts employees, etc.

9. The Party I states that the settlement dated 06-02-2018 entered into by the Union of the workmen, came to an end and expired on 30-06-2017 and the Union then terminated the said settlement and served fresh Charter of Demands on the Management for better wages and service conditions vide letter dated 16-03-2018 calling upon the Management to negotiate a fresh settlement for a period of 3 years commencing from 01-07-2017 to 30-06-2020. The Party I Union states that the Management adopted an adamant stance of delaying in negotations on the Union's Charter and revised the wages and special allowance of the Associates who are not members of the Party I Union thereby adopting unfair labour practices and the Union having no other option, sought intervention of the Dy. Labour Commissioner & Conciliation Officer at Panaji. Even, after several meetings with the Conciliation Officer, the Party II stuck to its adamant attitude and refused to offer any better terms of service in relation to the workmen. However, in the meantime, the Party II started harrasing and victimizing the Committee Members as well as the other members of the Union in various ways without any provocation from the workmen.
