CASE DESCRIPTION
Feb 12, 2009 6:30 PM
Tata Motors plant, Jamshedpur.
Young Arpan looked at his assembly line station with pride. Pride because his father
had worked at the same plant. He perhaps considered this job to be his inheritance
from his father. His family was thoroughbred TATA. Recently married, he and his
wife were planning a family vacation together along with their young son, wondering
if the TATA legacy would continue with the next generation. His mind was filled with
thoughts of the future, but to build it he must act now.
As any other usual day at work, he was working under the chassis number 102468
fixing a radiator. Little did he realize that this was the last chassis he was ever going
to work on. Not realizing that Arpan was lying down, the driver of the chassis,
numbered 102486, reversed his vehicle. This small negligence on part of the driver
crushed Arpans upper half of the body.
Feb 12, 2009 6:30 PM
Balwinder saw the truck behind Arpan move. The realization that Arpan was going to
be crushed by this moving line came a bit too late. He shouted out to Arpan but the
sickening sound of crushed bones reached his ears over the noise of the assembly
line. Shocked, he and other workers rushed to the spot of the incident.
Feb 12, 2009 9:00 PM
Scene of the incident at the Hospital
Mr. Chandrabhan Prasad and Mr. Sumant Sinha (DGM IR) rushes to the hospital
subsequently as the workers present on the shop floor rush Arpan to the hospital.
He is badly injured, unconscious but still breathing. As the news about the accident
spread, Arpan's relatives arrived at the scene. His Uncle, a long time Tata employee
had strong political affiliations with BJP and Chandrabhan wiped his brow thinking of
the consequences of a political angle to this issue right now. Although Chandrabhan
is angry that a minor safety flaw resulted in a ghastly incident, he knows that theonly way to salvage the situation is by engaging the management constructively and
not through any kind of agitation. But his Uncle was surprisingly calm, albeit
distraught. His uncle showed enough maturity of not allowing any political angle to
creep into the incident.
Feb 12, 2009 9:15PM
Meanwhile, Arpan passes away at 9:15 PM, but this news is kept secret among thefew present at the hospital, so as to prevent the crowd from getting more agitated.

His family is still kept in the dark about his death. At this time Chandrabhan discusses
the situation with Sumant, takes out his mobile and calls Borwankar. Borwankar, by
this time is still in his office and is shocked to hear about the death of Arpan. He
informs Chandrabhan that Arpans family will get the requisite benefits and the TML
management shall cover all funeral expenses.
Feb 12, 2009 10:00 PM
The tension between the management and the protesting crowd has reached boiling
point, the crowd is refusing to back down. They demand that Arpans wife be given
the status of a permanent worker and that the required statutory benefits be
extended to his family. To quell the growing anger, the union decides to give the
management a deadline of 10:00 am next day by which time they demanded a
written confirmation-promising fulfillment of the demands. Chandrabhan has
reiterated this demand over phone to Mr. Borwankar .The management conceded to
some demands, they agree to give Arpan's wife the needed benefits and the'seniority of a permanent worker' but decline the demand for the status of
permanent worker. Mr. Chandrabhan Prasad is upset and continues to rally for their
original demands.
Feb 13, 2009 8:00 AM
Arpan's house
Mr. Chandrabhan Prasad and Mr. Satish Borwankar visited Arpan's family and
relatives at their house. The family had taken a new stance, demanding a writtendocument ratifying the agreement to fulfill their demands.
At this point Chandrabhan Prasad lost his temper, despite his most sincere efforts to
help Arpans family, he was being treated with mistrust. Though soon it was clear
that the motive behind this change was coming from Arpan's brother-in-law, who
(politically motivated) wanted the protest to continue and ask for more benefits and
changes for the workers conditions. Arpan's father and uncle intervened and
convinced Arpan's wife and family to have faith in the company given their long
association with it.
Despite the heavy involvement of the political parties, Arpan's uncle does not take
any drastic measures to try to make the management concede. Given his familyhistory with the company and the atmosphere, he decides to confine the situation to
simple discussion and debate.
Feb 13, 2009 9:30 am
The management addressed the gathering of workers and Union members. They
agreed to extend the benefits to Arpan's family and verbally confirmed that Arpans
wife will be given a permanent job in the company. At this point the General
Secretary of TELCO Workers Union, Mr. Chandrabhan Prasad intervened and
demanded a written confirmation from the management. Looking at the graveseriousness of the issue, the management deliberated on the issue of written

confirmation immediately. Mr. Borwankar and Mr. Chandrabhan decide to hash out
the matter in a closed-door meeting.
Feb 13, 2009 10:00 am
Mr. Chandrabhan Prasad is now adamant that the management take an immediate
decision regarding the permanent status of Arpans wife. He is in a closed room
discussion with Mr. Satish Borwankar and asks him to confirm the permanent status
of Arpans wife at the very instant. As there were no legal provisions in the TML
policy in this case, this unprecedented demand couldnt be met from the side of
Mr. Borwankar without approval from the Bombay House. Mr. Borwankar conveys
this to Mr. Chandrabhan, who is no mood to relent. He then asks Mr. Borwankar to
call up Mr. P.M. Telang (Managing Director of TML). Seeing no way out
Mr. Borwankar calls up Mr. Telang, who by now has heard of the incident through
various official and unofficial sources.
After much persuasion and weighing of the pros and con's finally Mr. Telang decidesto concede to the demand of imparting permanent worker status and all the
relevant benefits to Arpan's wife. Given that she has all the necessary qualifications
required for the job, the management along with Mr. Telang, Mr. Borwankar were
convinced of their decision.
The plant manager Mr. Borwankar, Mr. Chandrabhan Prasad, workers and Arpan's
family gather at the site of the incident to hear out any other demands set forth by
Arpan's family.
Thereafter they decide to fulfill all these demands unconditionally, the family and
the gathering is sated and they return to their daily lives.
The company then proceeded to create said document within a day, and the matterat hand was resolved.
10th
April 2009
Arpan's wife was inducted into the company as an apprentice and given the
necessary training required. She already possessed the qualifications necessary and
thus is rapidly assimilated into the workforce without any hitches. She was, later on,
finally inducted as a permanent employee in the organization. Some semblance of
calm has now descended on her family and she can hope for a better future for
herself as well as her little boy.This incident was set as a precedent and later resulted in the landmark 2010 MOS
that conferred various benefits to temporary workers and took care of some of their
hitherto unmet needs.

Later
The company decides to allocate a free budget for the purpose of ensuring worker
safety and for the purchase of safety equipment. DUPONT Consulting was hired for
advising on safety and systemic changes to eliminate the possibility of any such
incident happening in the future. All safety related issues hereafter were addressed
within a week.
Though the workers resisted the new changes for a long time (wearing extensive
safety equipment, banning of tobacco and alcohol on the premises) and the
management tried to quash this resistance through fines and punishment, in the end
the workers complied and the relationship was relatively harmonious.
The company also decided to cover all funeral expenses in future for all it's workers,
it was also decided that in case of the death of an employee, his position and its
benefits will be transferred to his wife, in case the wife passes away, their children
will receive the commensurate benefits.

Analysis of the case as per the given facts
Union side
The Union took a mature step by deciding not to go for any mass agitations or
strikes. The issue was dealt by Mr. Chandrabhan Prasad with the utmost urgency and
subtlety. It was his prerogative to ensure that while the workers family received the
due benefits that they were entitled to and also he had to balance his relationship
with the management by not going overtly against them. He was instrumental in
bargaining on behalf of the workers wife and successfully getting her inducted as a
permanent worker in TML, post the incident. By being assertive in his demand with
the management side, Mr. Prasad did full justice to his post as the General Secretary
of the TML Workers Union
Management Side
It was a slight error of omission that the management had overlooked the fact of
benefits being conferred to the temporary workers on such an event. There was no
previous policy and the fact they were dithering on the issue of conferring
permanent status to the wife of the deceased employee, does not present the idea
that management being as proactive as the IR department of TML claims it to be. But
credit has to be given to Mr. Borwankar and the management in the area of
enhancing the safety features of the assembly line as well as the overall plant safety
and ensured that no stone was left unturned in incorporating safety features.
Moreover, post this case the management ensured that benefits to the temporary itwas set as a policy precedent and on the death or permanent total disability, the
settlement would govern the necessary steps in conferring benefits.
Analysis of Legal Implications and Practical Challenges
The terms regular and permanent are used interchangeably. The Model Standing
Orders (Schedule I) attached to the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) (IESO)
Central Rules, 1946, defines a permanent worker as one who has been engaged on
a permanent basis and includes any person who has satisfactorily completed a
probationary period of three months in the same or another occupation in theindustrial establishment.. The term non-regular workers is used in this report to
include trainees, fixed-term employment workers, contract workers, temporary and
casual workers. The Central IESO Rules define a temporary worker as one who has
been engaged for work which is of an essentially temporary nature likely to be
finished within a limited period.
From legal point of view the major difference between Permanent staffing and
Temporary staffing is that in case of permanent staffing there is no fixed
employment period in the employment contract, only age of retirement is
mentioned whereas in case of Temporary staffing there is always a specifiedemployment period in the employment contract. Salaries and perquisites of the
-

temporary workers are less than that of permanent workers at the same level, owing
to non-applicability of certain legal provisions as well as standard practices although
the safety and welfare benefits are mostly uniform.
Any union does not organize the temporary/ contract workers, but the union of the
regular workers represents their issues in the collective bargaining. There are several
structural obstacles and institutional challenges to organization of and collective
bargaining for non-regular workers, though their numbers are high and rising. It is
considered that, in fact, firms employ non-regular workers to avoid unionism. The
practice is to have the service of such workers only for a limited period in a year, but
continue them for years. It is also to be noted that the nature of relationship with
the employers in case of contract workers is indirect though in all other cases of non-
regular workers including temporary workers, it is direct.
There are numerous instances like in this case where non-regular workers, especially
casual, contract and temporary, have worked for years (sometimes more than adecade), but continue to fight for permanency even where union support is
available. Employment insecurity is the biggest obstacle to institutionalize
employment relations in the case of non-regular workers. The judiciary has not been
of much help in recent times; in fact, several adverse judgments have dented the
long-won employment rights, including the landmark ruling of the Honble Supreme
Court in the case of Secretary, State of Karnataka & Ors vs. Uma Devi & Ors in 2006
which held that, despite long and continuous years of service casual and temporary
workers employed without due selection process had not the right to be regularized
as they had made backdoor entries into jobs thus depriving other potential aspirants
seeking jobs of employment. On the brighter side, there are judicial precedentsupholding that irrespective of the status of an employee as a probationer or as a
temporary service/contract service, the compliance of the requirement under
Article 311(2)of the constitution for dismissal/ removal is absolute.
A comparative analysis has been provided as part of Appendix C to this report.
Analysis of the case from Human Aspect
Temporary or permanent, whatever be the case the fact of the matter is that a
worker is first a human being. The workers and management need to work hand inhand in order to ensure the company remains the leader in the market. Therefore, in
case of such incidents, the nature of a worker should not be given prime importance.
The priority should be given to amicable resolution of issues and proper benefits
imparted to the respective workers.
Keeping in mind this principle, the management at Tata Motors is known to be quite
considerate towards its workers, be it temporary or permanent. There have been
differences in terms of salary structure. But otherwise, most of the benefits are
extended towards both categories of workers. In the case under study, it has been
found that management went a step ahead and extended more benefits than thestatutory benefits stated in the MOS. In case of casualty, appropriate compensation
-

is given to both types of workers as per the Workers Compensation Act. The
management took the opportunity to consider this case as a starting point for a
policy change. The new provisions included in the successive MOS highlight the
proactive measures taken by management to resolve such issues in future.
Temporary workers in Tata Motors are almost at par with the permanent workers in
terms of benefits received and the difference in the salary levels and the duration of
the working period. The temporary workers are all taken from a pool of employee
wards and are made permanent on the basis of the business cycles that the
company is going through. In periods of slowdown as few as 250 workers were made
permanent in a year, while as many as 750 workers were made permanent during
the periods of high demand, in a year. The policy of making temporary workers
permanent is based on a review of the business scenario and is a transparent
process. The policy of TML is to rotate the temporary workers from the pool, so that
each worker gets a chance to earn his livelihood. But even after all the measures put
in place, there is always a demand of the Union to make temporary workerspermanent at the earliest. In this case Arpan had served as a temporary for more
than 7-8 years, and was due to be permanent in a year or so, just before tragedy
struck. Hence the demands of the Union were even more vociferous regarding the
conversion of temporary workers to permanent. While this demand still continues to
be a bone of contention among workers and management, the landmark settlement
of 2010 has gone a long way in extending benefits to the temporary workers.

APPENDIX ARelevant extracts from Tata Motors union document
Temporary worker definition
Under section 4 of the Employment of Labour (Standing Order) Act 1965 workers
have been classified as apprentices, badlis, casual, permanent, probationer and
temporary.
The term Temporary worker as defined in section 2(s) of the Employment of Labour
(Standing Orders) Act, 1965 means "worker" who has been engaged for work which
is essentially of a temporary nature and is likely to be finished within a limited
period.
Need for temporary workers in a firm
Keeping down administrative costs, remaining flexible and above all, retaining the
capacity to respond quickly to volatile demand are the three major reasons why
companies hire temps, according to a survey this year by the industry association,
the Indian Staffing Federation (ISF)
Relevant Excerpts from the MOS 2010-2013 of Tata Motors regarding Temporary
Employees
The MOS signed in 2010-turned out to be a landmark settlement. Several new
initiatives towards employee well-being and safety were introduced after the fatal
accident. Hence there was the introduction of new measures of safety and employee
well being as well as increasing employee productivity. In order to help the needy
workmen including temporaries and trainees to meet their medical expenses for self
and for family members, Medical Support scheme was introduced and agreed upon.
This was a contributory fund and managed through a joint committee. Referral of
dependant parents for specialized treatment to a hospital outside Jamshedpur was
agreed upon while overall limit of outside treatment was capped at 1,25,000/- INR
covering both parents.
Section 32
A temporary workman joining the temporary pool hereafter will during the period of
his/her temporary employment, be paid basic salary at the rate appropriate to
his/her grade in the revised scales and shall receive benefits to which he/she is
entitled as per this settlement

TELCO WORKERS UNION
In 1945, when India was on the threshold of independence , Tata Sons purchased
Singbhum Workshop from East Indian Railways at the cost of Rs 25,000,00/-. In the
repair workshop of railway wagons and locomotive engines, Tata sons management
planned to manufacture locomotive engines in order to fulfill the requirements ofthe Indian Railway & simultaneously develop infrastructure and trained workforce
which were essential for manufacturing steam loco boilers and road rollers at the
plant. Tata sons named this company as Tata Locomotive and Engineering Company
Ltd. (TELCO).
During the period 1946 to 1949 Indian national income was dependent on
agriculture. GDP from agriculture was 48.1% while industries contributed meager
8.3%. In 1948 national income was Rs 246/- per man, per year. In the midst of such
an alarming situation, Telco Workers Union came into existence under the
leadership of Mr. Michael John and Mr. Mela Singh. They adopted Gandhianphilosophy of national reconstruction to provide employment to the poor who were
dependent upon agriculture sector and other occupations like jute, tea and the
armed forces.
On 20th
August 1946, Telco Workers Union legally came into existence after its
registration under The Trade Union Act1926. The registration number was 98.
All workers of Singhbhum workshop were absorbed in the new setup. The total
workforce strength of the company that time was 625. Unions membership
subscription was 4 annas per month. On this subscription, union membership wasgiven and membership records were maintained in a register.
Shri Nripen Banerjee, Sardar Mela Singh, Shailesh Das, Mihir Bhattacharya and Shri
Rajen were first Office bearers and leaders of the Telco Workers Union. At that time
the only central trade union organization in the country was AITUC under the
leadership of Mr. V.V. Giri (Ex-President of India). Telco Workers Union initially got
affiliated with it. In 1947 when INTUC came into existence, Telco Workers Union
realigned with it. Almost all Unions functioning at Jamshedpur joined the INTUC
during 1947-48 and after prevalent democratic process Mr. Michael John was
elected as the President of the Union. A new saga of working class movement tookbirth in this leading engineering industry of the nation.
At Telco, Union and management believed in collaborative working and through
successive collective bargaining agreements, they improved the salary and other
service conditions of the workers with long term vision and at the same time, also
ensured the sustenance of the Company to remain a market leader.
