Trade Union Recognition Referendum in Railways Imminent

February 21, 2023 by Eliza Leave a Comment

The last referendum for trade union recognition in the Indian Railways was held in April 2013. According to the Final Modalities for Holding of Secret Ballot Elections, 2013, recognition of trade unions on a Zonal Railway is normally valid for six years from the date of grant of recognition. The process of holding the next referendum was initiated in 2019 but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Industrial Relations Code, 2020 has been enacted by Parliament and the same has been notified in Gazette of India on 29th September, 2020 by the nodal Ministry, i.e. the Ministry of Labour and Employment. Secret Ballot Elections will be conducted after the finalisation and notification of rules on recognition of Trade Unions by the Ministry of Labour and Employment.
