Sanand plant workers say Tata Motors misleading them

Moneycontrol News

A year after a month-long strike at the Tata Motors Sanand plant in Gujarat, the woes pertaining to salaries of workers still seem to be continuing. Workers at the plant allege that the Tata Motors management has resorted to misleading tactics like last year’s suspension of 26 employees and supervisors are issuing other threats, according to a report in The Financial Express.

To resolve the issues, the Gujarat government’s labour department had called in a meeting with the plant’s worker unions on Thursday but failed to resolve the conflict. The next meeting is scheduled on March 15.

According to the report, workers claim that Sanand plant supervisors have been threatening members of Bharatiya Kamdaar Ekta Manch which was formed last year after the strike. Besides, the workers also say the company favours contract workers who have been brought from other parts of the country.
