Transmission of collective agreement to Commissioner and publication of such agreement. [ 5, 62 of 1957.]
6. Where a collective agreement in respect of any industry in any district has been reduced to writing and signed by both the parties to the agreement or by the representative of each party thereto, any such party or any trade union or employer constituting or included in any such party may transmit the agreement to the Commissioner ; and the Commissioner shall forthwith cause the agreement to be published in the Gazette: Provided that where such agreement contains provisions relating to the terms and conditions of employment of any workmen in such industry, the Commissioner shall not cause such agreement to be so published unless he is satisfied that those terms and conditions are not less favourable than those applicable to any other workmen in the same or a similar industry in such district. For the purpose of this section, terms and conditions of employment set out in any other collective agreement shall not be deemed to be applicable to any workmen, unless the agreement has been published in the Gazette under this section and is for the time being in force. |
