The indefinite hunger-strike by two union leaders of Mahindra & Mahindra was called off last night after 'positive' talks with the management. Mahindra Employees Union's Vice-President Amol Sonawane and General Secretary Praveen Shinde were on fast from the last ten days demanding new wage agreement.

The hunger strike was withdrawn after positive talks between union leaders, management and deputy labour commissioner R S Jadhav, said General Secretary of the Union Praveen Shinde. The company will put in place a new wage agreement soon and has also agreed to promote workers in certain categories, he said.

The company could not be contacted for comments. The hunger strike by two union leaders had not affected production at the plant as other workers were reporting to work, he added.
