organization reacts quickly and positively to the
market challenges and succeed through the cut
throat commercial competition.
It shall be the efforts that this settlement shall
regain the viability and competitiveness. It must
reinforce the long term sustainability and prosperity
though business growth.
This will be achieved through deliberate and
significant improvements in:

1307
. Resource productivity
. Operational flexibility
. Process and product quality
. Cost effectiveness

of the Company to commit towards the commercial,
corporate and social growth of the Company.

CHAPTER II
1. Productivity: Wage Settlement is a process of
“Give and Take”, the Union and workmen duly realize
that in return for a substantial wage rise given by
the Company, the workmen have to share additional
obligations and responsibilities which would not

the financial burden caused by the wage rise but
also maintain its competitive status in the industry
at healthy levels.

expects permanent associates to produce average
three buses per day and union on behalf of
permanent associates will assure that they will
support the management in implementing the
same with suitable deployment of all Associates.
At present, all associates contribute in existing
production and support services. It is also
understood that achieving production is a
collective responsibility of management and
union and the union will fully contribute their
share in maximizing the same.
2. It is agreed by the Union that each workman
shall strive to maintain minimum 80% productivity
during the period of Settlement. The Company will
fix the base production norms for each work
station/assembly lines based on the standard
process cycle time. During the time study Union
Representative will be present. Each workmen will
be required to produce as per the pre-determined
norms. The individual case of workman who is
failing to achieve the above production, norms will
be discussed with the Union. Even after Union’s
involvement, if the concerned workman fails to
achieve the stipulated production norms, the
Management will take necessary disciplinary
action.
3. It is accepted by the parties that the above
improvement in productivity will be in addition
to the improvement in productivity achieved
through operational improvement, Kaizen

(2) If the answer to issue No.(1) above is in the
negative, then what relief the workmen are entitled
to?”.
2. Upon receipt of the reference, it was registered
as IT/08/2017 and registered AD notices were issued
to both the parties. Pursuant to service of notices,
Party I filed the claim statement at Exhibit. 3 and
Party II filed its Written Statement at Exhibit. 6.
3. In short, the case of the Party I is that, the Union
is representing the workmen employed by the Party
II. The Party II is a Company registered under the
Companies Act having business of sales and service
centres of maruti all over the State and Office and
sales service centre at Campal, Panaji–Goa. The
1312
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 8
26TH MAY, 2022
Union is representing the workmen employed by
Party II a their sales and service centres of Maruti
vehicles all over the State. The Party II started its
sales and service activities in Goa from the year 1986
at Vasco and since then, the Party II has expanded its
business all over Goa with modernized sales and
service centres at Fatorda, Panaji, Mapusa, Vasco,
Canacona, etc.
4. That, in the month of May, 2008, almost all the
permanent workmen employed by the Party II have
joined the Gomantak Mazdoor Sangh and on receipt
of the joining letters from the workers, the Sangh had
informed the Management vide their letter dated
14-05-2008 that almost all the workers have joined
its Union and requested for a joint meeting and that
the Union has also informed the Management the
names of the Local Committee and that as the existing
settlement was expiring on 30-06-2008, the workers
have decided to submit the Charter of Demands and
accordingly, the Union has submitted the Charter of
Demands vide their letter dated 10-06-2008 and that
in order to avoid the confusion, the workmen and the
Union waited for the outcome of the reference under
No. IT/29/09. The Tribunal was pleased to pass an
Award dated 13-07-2015 in the above reference and
was pleased to consider the period of four years that
is from 01-07-2008 to 30-06-2012 there by upholding
the contention of the Union and the workmen. The
final Award dated 13-07-2015 passed by the Tribunal
in IT/29/09 has been affirmed by the Hon’ble High
Court of Bombay at Goa in Writ Petition No. 739 of
2015 by its order dated 18-12-2015 and by Hon’ble
Apex Court in Special Leave Application No. 8329 of
2016 by dismissing the appeal filed by the Party II.
The Charter of Demands dated 10-06-2008 only
covered the period from 01-07-2008 to 30-06-2012. The
practice in the establishment since the first wage
settlement was to enter into wage settlements for a
period of four years and revise them thereafter and
hence the Hon’ble Tribunal was pleased to consider
the period of four years duration and gave the liberty
to the workers to submit the Charter of Demands from
01-07-2012.
5. Accordingly, the Union had raised the dispute
on 06-06-2016 on the Charter of Demands dated
28-06-2012 covering the period from 01-07-2012 to
31-03-2016 and this was in line with the long
standing practice and custom prevailing in the
present establishment. The Tribunal has granted
hardly Rs.1800/- increase per month which is too
meager to meet the day to day needs of the workmen
and that in the month of April, 2012, the Consumer
Price Index was 4679 (1960=100) and whereas in the
month of April, 2017, the Consumer Price Index was
increased to 6325 (1960=100) and therefore, there is
tremendous increase in the inflation and the wages
paid to the workmen are insufficient to meet the day-
to-day needs of the workers and due to the
tremendous increase in the Consumer Price Index
and also the tremendous increase in the inflation,
the workers are in need of immediate relief to meet
the increasing cost of living. It is also stated that
already four years have passed and to adjudicate the
Charter of Demands in the reference will take another
4 years considering the past record. The present
wages of the workers (in all grades) are at a level
below ‘minimum wages’ and thus the wages are to
be brought to a level of at least a ‘fair wage’ and in
the alternative to the level of ‘living wage’.
6. The Employer has been in prime financial
health showing profits and thus would be in position
to bear any additional burden imposed by way of
revision of wages. There has been tremendous
increase in the inflation rate and as such the real
value of the rupee is deteriorated and hence, the
value of the wages presently paid to the workmen is
also deteriorated and workmen are put to a great
loss. The Party II revised the salary of the Officers on
yearly basis and they are provided with all the
facilities and other benefits every year and the
workers are not paid even fair wages, inspite of having
the capacity of paying the living wage. The cost of
living in Goa is the highest in the Country and as
such in order to meet the basic needs of the workmen,
their demand for interim relief is fair, just and
reasonable.
7. In the Written Statement filed by the Party II
through its HR-Sr. Manager, Shri Sujay Rao inter alia
contending and raising objections that that the
Tribunal has no jurisdiction to entertain the present
reference as the Award between the same parties
was passed by the Industrial Tribunal on 13-07-2015
in reference No. IT/29/09 and the present Charter of
Demands is made for a prior period starting and
ending 01-07-2012 to 31-01-2016 which cannot be
entertained by the Tribunal. The number of workmen
represented by Party I Union is miniscule as vast
majority of employees are satisfied to the total
package received by them after the Award dated
13-07-2015. The matters covered by the previous
Award cannot be referred for adjudication during the
currency of such an Award. The financial position of
the Company is not sound as the major incomes
reflected in the Balance Sheet are from interest on
deposits, insurance and warranty claimed, etc. The
Union is also responsible for instigating, provoking
and disturbing the peace as they have gone on strike
causing monetary loss to the Company. The Party I
has no locus standi to represent the workmen. The
expenditure on salaries and other aspects connected
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 8
26TH MAY, 2022
1313
with the workmen concerned are increasing day by
day without any corresponding increase in the
income generated from any of the activities of the
workmen.
8. The Party II denies all the allegations and the
case put forth by Party I and states that the financial
position is not strong enough to make any provisions
for yearly gift and there is no practice also in any
industries regarding granting of such gifts and the
same cannot be a condition of service and so also the
demand for granting festival advance is uncalled for
and was never a practice at any point of time. The
demand for granting outdoor allowances is also
uncalled for and there was never such a practice so
far. The said workmen are considered to be on duty
and are paid their regular salaries. The workmen are
covered under the Payment of Gratuity Act which is
a statutory act and the payment of gratuity cannot
be agitated under this Act when there is a special
Act in force to that effect. All the demands made in
the Claim Statement such as supply of raincoats,
safety shoes and the demand for employment of next
to kin are all uncalled for, unreasonable and was
never in practice at any point of time and in view of
the limited work force who have many years to retire
and in the absence of any vacancy, such a demand
for employment to next kin is highly objectionable.
The workmen are covered under the Payment of
Bonus Act which is a statutory Act and so also the
payment of bonus cannot be agitated when there is
a special Act to that effect in force. Hence, the Party
II therefore prays that no case has been made out by
Party I and as such they are not entitled for the reliefs
as prayed.
9. Rejoinder on behalf of the Party I came to be
filed denying the case put forth in the Written
Statement.
10. Based on the above mentioned pleadings, my
Learned Predecessor has framed the Issues at Exh.
40 and the same are as follows:
(1) Whether the Party I proves that the charter of
demands raised by it vide their letter dated
28-06-2012 are legal and justified?
(2) Whether the Party II proves that there is no
existing or apprehended industrial dispute in the
present matter?
(3) What Relief? What Award?
11. In the course of the proceedings, the parties
filed an application at Exhibit. 48 Colly alongwith a
copy of Memorandum of Settlement dated 22-02-2022
under Section 2(p) read with Section 18(1) of the
Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 stating that they have
