THE DUNLOP RUBBER CO. vs WORKMEN

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of workmen for 'go slow' actions was justified as the charge referenced clauses 10(vii) and (xvi) of the Operators Standing Orders, which included insubordination and 'go slow' actions. The Court found that the workmen had been warned about their actions and had denied the charge, thus the Tribunal's conclusion of insufficient charge specificity was incorrect. Additionally, the Court ruled that there was no violation of natural justice as the workmen were not entitled to representation by an unrecognized union under the Trade Union Act, affirming the Tribunal's decision to reinstate the workmen with limited back wages.
