Which of the following amounts to an unfair labour practice ?
Explanation
Under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, "Unfair Labour Practices" are defined and listed in the Fifth Schedule. According to Item 15 of Part I of this schedule, refusing to bargain collectively in good faith with a recognized trade union is explicitly classified as an unfair labour practice on the part of employers.
- Option A: Recruiting workmen during a strike is only an unfair practice if the strike is legal (not illegal).
- Option B: Transfers are generally a management prerogative; they only become unfair if done mala fide (in bad faith) to victimize workers.
- Option C: Dismissal due to criminal involvement is a disciplinary matter rather than an unfair labour practice.
The provision for collective bargaining ensures industrial democracy and the peaceful resolution of disputes between management and labour.
