(1.) -
(2.) THIS petition purports to be a public interest litigation launched by the Universal Proutist Labour Federation-a registered Trade Union of Delhi-professing to espouse the cause of workmen of merely 200 Glass Blowing and Glass Bangles Industries established at Firozabad arrayed as respondents in the petition. Neither the workmen nor the Unions of these industries are, however, the members of the Federation.
(3.) FURTHER, it is not denied that each of these industries has its own trade union fully competent to espouse their cause. Not a single trade Union has chosen to join the petitioner in this venture. And it has not been disclosed why those trade unions have not come forward to press the supposed grievance of the workmen or any section of them whose rights are stated to have been violated.
