I only worked there for a month. What legal action can the company take? Is an out-of-court settlement possible?

Should I seek employment in the private sector or start my own practice as an engineer while the case is pending? I need guidance on how to move forward.

Can a senior employee, working alone, initiate conciliation proceedings without a trade union? This issue arises as the employee is the only one affected by the dispute.

Also, under Section 2(s), I am an independent contributor with no managerial responsibilities. Does this qualify me for conciliation proceedings?
