The document summarizes a court case between the Arumuganeri Salt Workers Coop. and its workers. The Coop. reduced wages suddenly without notice in 1993. The workers approached the labor court, which ruled in their favor and reinstated the previous wages as reduction without notice is illegal. The Coop. appealed to the Madras High Court, which upheld the labor court's decision, finding that the Coop. should have provided notice and that minimum wages are the lowest allowed, not mandatory. The High Court protected the workers' interests from the Coop.'s unethical practices.
