That only a small number of workers are permanent

workers. That, a large number of workers are

employed either on Fixed Term Contract or as

temporary workers. That the Fixed Term Contract

workers and temporary workers are paid higher

wages as compared to the wages of the permanent

workers. That the Five Star Hotels in the vicinity have

raised the wages of their workmen by Rs. 5,000/- to

Rs. 6,000/- per month. That as per the 7th Pay

Commission, the minimum need based wage should

be Rs. 18,000/- per month as on 01-01-2016. That the

minimum wages cannot be less than Rs. 18,000/- per

month in any industry.

3. In justification of their demands, Party I states

that the Demand No. 1 of the Charter of Demands of

Party I pertains to Pay Scales which have to be

revised. The Pay Scales proposed are fair, reasonable

and should be accepted in toto. In fact, the same is

very low and lower than the minimum basic wages

fixed by the State Government or Central

Government.

Demand No. 2 pertains to flat rise to be given to

the workers in Basic Pay as follows:

Rs. 2500/- per month

19 to 21 years

Rs. 3000/- per month

Rs. 4000/- per month

This demand is fair and just wage rise in basic pay

and comparable to what is paid in the hotel industry

and within capacity of the hotel to pay.

Demand No. 3 pertains to flat rise to be given to

the workers in Fixed Dearness Allowance of

Rs. 1000/- per month. The demand is fair and just wage

Demand No. 11 pertains to collection of Service

Charge of 10% on all hotel accommodation, sales and

food sales and all other sales and distribute the same

every month equally to all the employees in the hotel.

This demand is fair and just and the same is a

universal practice and in neighboring Nepal and Sri

Lanka this practice prevails and in Goa in several

hotels this practice is there. There is no financial

burden on Party II agreeing to this demand and the

customers do not mind this practice as even

otherwise they give tips and they would be happy to

pay service charges in this electronic age on their

bills instead of leaving tips on the table.

Demand No. 12 pertains to Medical Allowance for

revision of Medical Allowance to Rs. 1000/- per

month which is fair and just and is payable to only

and Labour Court. This practice is just and fair and

exists in the hotel industry and was existing in this

hotel too.

Demand No. 21 pertains to holding general body

meetings of the Union and executive committee

meetings in the hotel cafeteria. This demand is fair

and just. This practice is very normal in the hotel

industry and was existing in this hotel too.

4. Therefore, it is prayed that the Charter of

Demands of Party I be held to be fair and just and

Party II be directed to grant the Charter of Demands

with effect from 01-02-2013.

5. Party II has filed its Written Statement. Party II

states that Mr. Joao Anselmo Fernandes, General

Secretary, Ramada Renaissance Resort Employees’

Union has signed the Claim Statement. 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

2945

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.
