Dear Sucheta,
It is indeed unfortunate that the employees decided to go on a flash strike. There are a few issues that will need handling. You have to guage the reason as to why such an extreme step was taken by the employees. Once the reasons are clear, you have to analyse the situation and talk to the top management on priority to get the issues sorted. That one important reason that led to the strike needs to be tackled immediately to avoid further disturbance. Legally, you can file an application in the Labour Court and get the strike declared illegal. You can chargesheet the errant workmen for illegal strike and initiate disciplinary enquiry against them. Notices are required to be put advising the workmen to restore normalcy. You have to seek police protection in case you have the apprehension that the situation may go out of control and seek an injunction from Industrial Court also.

Dear Sucheta
Thanks for your feedback on 10.12.2016. As per the same you have concluded a new wage settlement and copy of the same has been sent to Labour Department. When the wages as per that settlement, any arrears / lumpsum benefit is being paid to your workers, at the first time, pl prepare an acknowledgement cum receipt stating that the concerned worker fully read and understood the terms of recently concluded settlement and that he will abide by the same in toto and get signature of each individual worker on that acknowledgment.form. You can get the same signed by each individual worker and keep the same for your records for any future dispute if any by the old committee members.

I am sorry to differ from the above view of our friend Mr.Venkatraghavan since his suggestion seems superfluous to me in the context of the situation. There is only one trade union functioning in the industry and with this union only the bilateral settlement relating to revision of wages stands duly signed with the newly authorised members of the committee after negotiations and normalcy also stands restored. When there is no split in the union ( of course a positive presumption only from the latest response of the poster), I am inclined to think that such an exercise of obtaining individual acceptance and undertaking is quite unnecessary. As some disciplinary action is contemplated by the management against the trouble-makers in the wake of the settlement, it may give room for the creation of some ruckus out of this additional exercise.
