Summary

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.Full Conversation
