Bosch Strike: Union Talks With Management on Thursday
Bangalore: The first round of talks with the management would be held on Thursday to resolve issues at German auto component major Bosch's Adugodi plant, where strike by workers entered the second day on Wednesday, a union official said.
"We will be holding bilateral talks with the management as per the direction of Additional Labour Commissioner Narasimhamurthy to solve issues pending for the past 22 months," Mico Employees Association president S Prasanna Kumar told PTI in Bangalore.
A the bilateral meeting - a tripartite meeting involving the union, the company management and the Additional Labour Commissioner - will be held on September 20, he said.
The workers had gone on an indefinite strike on Tuesday claiming that the management planned to cut down some medical benefits and demanded productivity "which cannot logically happen to the level of their expectation".
In a filing to the BSE on Tuesday, the company on described the demands of the workers as "unreasonable" and the strike as illegal.
The company has 2,575 permanent workers, 700 temporary workers and 1,000 contract workers, Mr Kumar said.
The management has also started issuing transfer orders to employees to shift to Bidadi plant near Bangalore without even discussing facilities like transport, he said.
The company's Bangalore plant has a history of workers' unrest, and the plant was shut down temporarily following a strike in September 2011.
