Sunrise Textiles Pvt Ltd, Surat, has only one registered trade union of workers functioning in its industrial establishment. Under the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, what must the employer do, subject to the prescribed criteria?

The employer must recognise the single registered trade union as the sole negotiating union of the workers, subject to the prescribed criteria. A negotiating council is needed only where several unions function and none has fifty-one per cent support on the muster roll.

Explanation

Section 14(2) says that where only one registered trade union functions in an establishment, the employer shall, subject to prescribed criteria, recognise it as the sole negotiating union. A negotiating council arises only when several unions exist and none has 51% support. Central-level recognition under Section 27 is a separate matter.
