Western India Match Co. Ltd vs Western India Match Co. Workers Union & ... on 9 January, 1970
In Muller & Phipps (India) (P) Ltd.
v. Their Employees' Union(') the dispute related to the
retrenchment of a workman and the failure of the employer to
re-employ him in spite of its having re-employed two other
employees out of their turn as against the turn of the con-
cerned workman. The High Court rejected the employer's con-
tention that the espousal of the union was not valid as it
was made after the retrenched workman had ceased on his
being retrenched to be a member of the union on the ground
that if that contention were to be upheld it would mean that
no union can ever espouse the cause of a retrenched workman.
