We were small ltd compant about 55 workers .We have stopped Paying variable DA to the workers based on one case the Allhabad high court verdict about it, saying if the employer paying much mort than minimum wages in any form ( HRA , and other allowencec) there was no need of paying the DA,till such time they gross fall beyond the minimum wages. The same was authenticated by labour department also.
Now the workers union sitting for strike for reinsiating of DA points.
Is it geniune? request further course of action from HR side..

From India, Eluru
In any case any change detrimental to the Emplyees/ worker in absence of Section 9 A of Industrial Dispute Act would be illegal on the employer's point.
So if you are covered under above case I am sure the Notice of Strike is legal.

From India, Pune
You can not stop paying the DA on the ground that you are already paying more than minimum wages because wages of the workmen can not be reduced at any point of time. It leads to Industrial dispute and the actio of the workmen is right.
