'Union not for SC/ST only'

August 22nd, 2010
DC Correspondent Share Buzz up!Aug. 21: The Madras high court has held
that simply because the name of Dr B.R. Ambedkar, a champion of the
backward classes, has been used in the name of the state cooperative
bank employees union (Tamil Nadu State Apex Co-operative Bank Dr
Ambedkar Employees' Union), it cannot be said that the trade union
represents SCs and STs.

Allowing the petition filed by Tamil Nadu State Apex Co-operative Bank
Employees Union (TNSACB), challenging the allotment of a room in the
bank premises to TNSACB-Dr Ambedkar EU, Justice S. Nagamuthu directed
the TNSACB to withdraw the allotment and take possession of the room.
When the union is recognised by the TNSACB management, it could enjoy
the benefit of a room in the premises of the bank, the judge made
clear.

The judge said, "V. Prakash, senior counsel for the petitioner
submitted that simply because the name of Dr Ambedkar, has been used
in the name of the trade union, it cannot be said that the trade union
represents SCs and STs, so that the National Commission for SC and ST
could interfere."
