Under the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, no person employed in a public utility service shall go on strike in breach of contract without giving to the employer notice of strike within how many days before striking?

Section 62 of the Industrial Relations Code, 2020 lays down the conditions relating to strikes and lock-outs. Under the Code, no person employed in any industrial establishment shall go on strike in breach of contract without giving the employer notice of strike within sixty days before striking, and not within fourteen days of giving such notice, nor during the pendency of conciliation proceedings and seven days after their conclusion, nor during the pendency of proceedings before a Tribunal and sixty days after their conclusion. Notably, the Code extends these strike-notice requirements — earlier confined to public utility services — to all industrial establishments. This ensures a cooling-off period and opportunity for settlement before industrial action.
