The FCI Employees Association has today submitted a representation to the Hon’ble Union Labour & Employment Minister, Mansukh Mandaviya, requesting issuance of clear instructions to all Central Government departments, PSUs, and organisations for reimbursement of travelling allowance (TA) and daily allowance (DA) to authorised trade union representatives attending conciliation meetings before the Chief Labour Commissioner (Central), Regional Labour Commissioner (Central), and Assistant Labour Commissioner (Central). The Association highlighted that while management representatives are provided TA/DA for attending such statutory proceedings, trade union office bearers are presently compelled to bear the expenses personally. The Association urged the Ministry to ensure equal treatment in the interest of strengthening industrial relations, encouraging effective participation in conciliation proceedings, and reducing industrial disputes through constructive dialogue.
