The Uranium industry will continue as a public utility service under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 for another six months with effect from September 15, 2005. The Labour Ministry in a notification issued here said that this has been done by the Central Government in public interest. The services in the said industry were earlier declared as a public utility for six months from September 15, 2004 and subsequently extended for another six months from March this year.
The employees in this establishment, as a result, would among other things be required to give notice to their employer six weeks in advance of proceeding on strike so that conciliatory proceedings could be started. During the conciliatory proceedings and seven days after their completion, the employees cannot go on strike.
