1. Case No. 1.
The Acme People’s Bank has been operating successfully for the
past twenty five years. Experiencing a phenomenal growth in the
market, Acme decided to go in for modernization of its service facilities
on a large scale. As a part of the expansion plan, several new
members were added to the existing staff. This resulted in changing
the social composition of the bank’s employees. There were two distinct
groups viz. the old ones and the young ones working side by side.
The young ones were keen on seizing any opportunity leading to
better career prospects. Older employees looked upon the younger
P.T.O.
ones as smart alecks, Johnny know-all, wanting to change everything
and critical of old established ways. The young ones regarded the
older guys as faddy daddies settled in their ways and dull.
As a part of modernization programme, Acme installed computers
in different sections of the bank. As the general manager put it
to the staffers–the computers would speed up the work, increase
efficiency and eliminate manual errors. Especially training programmes,
free of cost, would be arranged and would help the employees in
learning the new required skills. The employees were to be sent
for training in teams comprising in five members each. The general
manager asked for volunteers. Most of the new recruits volunteered
to make up the first few teams.
A week after the announcement was made a group of the older
employees met the general manager and expressed their dissatisfaction
over the new plans. They said they had been hired to do a particular
job, they had learnt and; mastered it, were good at it and saw
no need to change. They refused to attend any training programmes
and claimed that they had the union’s support. They reminded that
general manager of the years of dedicated service they had put
in and said that they would be quite happy to continue serving
the bank, in the same way.
[3876]-403 2
The same afternoon the general manager met his assistant and
the personnel manager to discuss the matter. It was decided that
those who did not wish to go in for the training would be deployed
elsewhere.
The next day, members of the group which had met the general
manager went on a hiccup strike ranging from ten minutes to thirty
minutes, causing disruption and delay in work and long queues of
irate customers.

1. Case No. 1 :
Pune Cooperative Bank appoints several temporary employees for
different periods. Their standard appointment latter stated that the
temporary services could be terminated at any time with one month’s
notice or one month’s pay in lieu of notice.
The manager of bank’s Karvenagar branch noticed that the work
of one temporary clerk was not satisfactory. He was neither regular
nor punctual. He committed several mistakes in his work. He was
found to be indifferent and irresponsible. He was, therefore, orally
warned about improvements in his work several times but he was
not given any written memos or notices. Nothing was kept on record
by way of adverse remarks against him. This was done with a view
to encouraging newly recruited temporary employees to do their
work with confidence.
P.T.O.
According to the rules of the bank, the temporary employee became
permanent automatically after two years period. So at the end of
one year and ten months, the manager of Karvenagar branch gave
in writing to the divisional manager that this temporary clerk should
be removed from the job since he had not shown any improvement
in his work. His services were accordingly terminated by giving him
one month’s pay in lieu of one month’s notice.
The clerk then went to the court of law stating that natural justice
was not done to him since there was nothing on record by way
of adverse remarks against him and that if he could be employed
for one year and then months, he could not be regarded as totally
incompetent. He further complained that the bank did not offer
enough guidance and information to him as a result of which his
work suffered. The court upheld his contention and directed the
bank to reinstate him. The bank had to reinstate him.
The chief executive of the bank soon thereafter issued a confidential
circular to all the managers that in future every manager must
keep a detailed record of work assessment of every temporary employee
and even small points must be correctly recorded. The temporary
employees soon began to receive memos and notices. During the
next three months services of 20 out of 35 temporary employees
were terminated.

times problematic.
The company has an industrial canteen where food items are provided
to workers at heavily subsidized rates e.g. Chivada 40 gms for 10

only. Company further notified that anyone found carrying away canteen
items would be dealt with very seriously.
