Teacher Employment Dispute Resolution

Summary

Teachers at NTPC are seeking regular employment status under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Generally, teachers are not classified as workmen under this Act, which complicates their case. They should consult with a labor lawyer, gather employment documents, and leverage union support for legal action. NTPC should review contracts, consult legal experts, and engage with the union for negotiations. The Talcher Thermal Power Station (Acquisition and Transfer) Act, 1994, may impact employment terms if teachers were part of the transfer. Section 11 of the Act ensures employees terms are not less favorable post-transfer.
