Historical Milestones
Key moments that shaped our Chamber's legacy
Strike for the Fundamental Right
During 1980's, the Chamber faced the labour problem threatening the fundamental right to appoint workers. After a 14-day shop closure from 10.09.1980, an amicable settlement was reached on 25.09.1980 at Thiruvananthapuram, confirming that the right to engage workmen vests exclusively with shop keepers.
Fight Against the Wild-Cat Strike
The Chamber faced a major Head Load workers strike starting 22.08.1981. Despite looting and violence, the business community stood united. An amicable settlement on 16.10.1981 established that unions must serve 4 days prior notice (96 hours) before resorting to strike.
