The management told the union representatives that a final offer will be given by Chairman and Managing Director provided all the nine unions come to an agreement on fitment benefit and perks and withdrew the indefinite strike. The AIHALTUCC did not accept the management's conditional offer and decided to go on a strike seeking fair and early wage revision settlements.
The HAL management on Sunday said it had made all out efforts to find an amicable solution. "Despite the management's concerted efforts towards bringing an amicable and early wage settlement, unions unfortunately have adopted a recalcitrant approach and did not accept the offer and decided to resort to indefinite strike; in spite of management's appeal not to resort to an indefinite strike and resolve the issue in a spirit of accommodation," it said in a statement.
The employees unions of the city-headquartered HAL have served notice at all locations of the defence public sector undertaking to go on the indefinite strike from Oct. 14 with regard to settlement of wage revision effective from Jan. 1, 2017.
