That he did not have the authority to sign the Claim Statement as all the workers had become members of the All India Trade Union Congress. That Party II had signed a settlement with Party I under Section 12(3) read with Section 18(3) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. That, the said settlement was valid for the period from 01-02-2009 to 31-01-2013. That the settlement was terminated by Party I purportedly as per the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. That, thereafter, Party I submitted a new Charter of Demand dated 21-11-2012. That Party II submitted the Management Charter of Demands dated 08-08-2016. That, thereafter, conciliation proceedings commenced before (the Conciliation Officer) Deputy Labour Commissioner, Margao (as conciliation failed, the matter is before this Tribunal). That Party II is not a Government Company. That the 7th Pay Commission is not applicable to Party II. That the settlements of the other hotels with their workmen are irrelevant, irrational and should be ignored. That Party II has reasonably increased the emoluments of Party I having regard to the capacity to pay and cost of living. That, after demonetization and other economic factors, occupancy in the hotel is affected and Party II has no financial capacity to pay the demands. Party II denies that the need based wage of a workman is Rs. 18,000/- per month. That the demands made by Party I is unreasonable, exorbitant, bad in law and beyond the capacity of Party II to pay. That there is no case for increasing the Variable Dearness Allowance, house-rent allowance, city compensatory allowance, leave travel allowance, cash handling allowance, medical allowance and picnic allowance. That there is no question of collecting service charges at the rate of 10%, as rate per room would increase and no guest would come to stay. That no case exists for granting new year gifts or increase the new year gift by Rs. 200/- per year. That there is no ground for granting retirement gift. That Party II takes proper care of workmen who meet with accidents while on duty. It is the duty of every workman to be dedicated to his work. That there is no cause for giving money in appreciation for good services.
6. That there is no reason to grant funeral expenses. That there is no reason to increase amount of loan to Rs. 5000/- for each category of loan or to be repaid in 16 equal installments. That the office bearers of the Union should take leave and attend to Union activities like defending employees in case, attending Labour Commissioner's Office or attending Industrial Tribunal or Labour Court and no facilities can be granted by Party II for the same. That Party II is already giving a place to hold the OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 49 9TH MARCH, 2023 General Body Meeting of the Union once a year. That there is no question of granting additional time for the General Body Meeting or Executive (Committee) meeting of the Union. That this case should be disposed off on the principles of industry cum region principles and capacity to pay and comparable concern. Therefore, it is prayed that the demand of Party I be rejected.
7. Party I has filed its Rejoinder. Party I denies that Mr. Joao Anselmo Fernandes has no authority to sign the Statement of Claim. It is denied that the 7th Pay Commission recommendations and the settlements made by other five star hotels with their workmen are irrelevant. It is denied that Party II has reasonably increased the emoluments of the workers. It is denied that the demands of Party I are unreasonable and unjustified. Therefore, it is prayed that the Charter of Demands be adjudicated in favour of Party I.
