A Grievance Redressal Committee of 6 members (3 employer, 3 worker) votes on Ramesh's grievance. Four members support rejecting it: all 3 employer members and 1 worker member. What is the result under the Code?

No decision is deemed to have been arrived at. Although four of six members agreed, the Code requires that more than half of the worker representatives also agree, and only one of three did.

  1. ADecision of rejection stands as a majority of 4 of 6 agreed
  2. BNo decision is deemed arrived at, since more than half of the worker members did not agreeCorrect
  3. CThe chairperson's casting vote decides the matter
  4. DThe matter automatically goes to the Tribunal

Explanation

Under section 4(7) a majority decision is valid only if more than half of the worker representatives agree. Only 1 of 3 workers agreed, which is not more than half, so no decision is deemed arrived at. Ramesh may then go to conciliation under section 4(8) through his Trade Union.
