Hindustan Aeronautics Limited to continue as a Public Utility Service

The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is to continue as a public utility service under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 for another six months with effect from March 24, 2007. The Labour Ministry in a notification issued here said that this has been done by the Central Government in public interest. HAL was earlier declared a public utility for six months from September 24, 2006.

The employees in this establishment, as a result, would among other things be required to give notice to their employer six weeks in advance of proceeding on strike so that conciliatory proceedings could be started. During the conciliatory proceedings and seven days after their completion, the employees cannot go on strike.
