Successor Employer Liable for Pre-Merger Collective Bargaining Agreements | Bombay HC Upholds Pension Scheme Extension Post-Merger Under Maharashtra Unfair Labour Practices Act
Bombay High Court rules that a successor employer must honor pension benefits extended through prior collective bargaining agreements, even after a merger, if employee service continuity is established. The judgment reinforces that unfair labour practices under the Maharashtra Recognition of Trade Unions and Prevention of Unfair Labour Practices Act, 1971, bind successor entities, protecting employee rights in corporate restructuring.
