Facts: The employees of DK Enterprises met the management and requested half a day leave to allow them to celebrate a lunar eclipse, which was going to happen two days later. The management refused the request. Does this situation amount to an 'industrial dispute'?
Options
As the difference of opinion between the employees and employer is on the declaration of holiday it amounts to an issue connected with the employment or with the terms of employment and hence, an industrial dispute.
No, as Lunar eclipse is unconnected with employment.
Yes, because there is some difference of opinion it would be an industrial dispute.
No as declaring holidays is a prerogative of the employer. So no industrial dispute.
