The workmen raised a dispute on the ground that the refusal to give them work amounted to dismissal which was sponsored by the All India Chhata Karkhana Muzdoor Union.
However, when the said eight workmen together with the said two others with whom we are number companycerned in this case arrived at the factory, the rest of the workmen requested the appellant firm number to give work to them.
On February 4, 1960, there was trouble in the factory when a procession of workers entered into the factory and began to throw brickbats and other missiles The appellants did number then take any action presumably because the trouble was amongst the workmen themselves owing to the said union rivalry.
The dispute arose from the following facts Prior to February 4, 1960, most of the workmen in the appellants factory were members of the All India Chhata Karkhanna Muzdoor Union.
Sometime prior to February 1960 they became members of the rival union, the Calcutta Chhata Karkhana Muzdoor Union The said eight workmen and two others, however, refused to join the rival union and that resulted in bad feelings between the two unions.
M. Shelat, J. This appeal, by special leave, arises out of an industrial dispute between the appellant from and eight of its workmen represented by the All India Chhata Karkhana Muzdoor Union referred for adjudication to the Second Labour Court, Calcutta.
The dispute was whether the dismissal of the said eight workmen by the appellant firm was justified ?
