Section 3(2) of ID Act 1947 gives the object and scope of the Works Committee, and is given below:
.....
(2) It shall be the duty of the Works Committee to promote measures for securing and preserving amity and good relations between the employer and workmen and, to that end, to comment upon matters of their common interest or concern and endeavour to compose any material difference of opinion in respect of such matters.
So practically there is no topic concerning the interest of the organisation which is outside its scope. But collective bargaining issues are avoided, so also individual grievances. Works Committee shall comprise only the in-house employees and it is better to avoid outside leadership in this forum.
