Question

    Under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, Section 2A

    deems a dispute as "Industrial Dispute" automatically if:
    A A majority of the workmen in an establishment join the dispute Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B An individual workman is discharged, dismissed, retrenched, or terminated Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C There is a delay in the payment of annual bonuses to the workforce Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The workmen decide to go on a collective strike to demand higher wages Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The claim is formally sponsored by a registered and recognized trade union Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 2A of the IDA, 1947, statutorily deems disputes involving discharge, dismissal, or retrenchment of an individual workman as "industrial disputes," even without union involvement or multiple workers. This protects individual worker rights and prevents employers from escaping labour law by arguing lack of collective action. The workman alone can approach labour tribunals.
