New Delhi: The six-week-long strike at Rico Auto Industries has come to an end and work has resumed after the management reached an agreement last evening to reinstate some employees. Violence had broken out at the company's plant last month, leading to the death of an employee.
"As per the agreement, of the total 16 workers who were suspended after the strike started, the management has agreed to revoke the suspension of eight, while one worker would be taken back after a month," Surinder Singh Chaudhary, senior vice-president (human resource), Rico Auto said, adding that the company will be fully operational from November 9.
This invariably means that normal supplies would resume to several domestic manufacturers as well as General Motor Corporation and Ford Motor Corporation of US. GM and Ford had temporarily shut factories because of the shortage of components after nearly 2,200 Rico workers went on strike on September 21, including the closure of a GM sport-utility vehicle assembly plant in Delta Township, Michigan; suspension of one of two shifts at a transmission factory in Warren, Michigan, and a week-long closure of a Ford plant in Canada.
Chaudhary said seven workers who indulged in indiscipline will be investigated by the labour department in Haryana and action would be taken accordingly.
"Incentives and other issues like salary hike will be decided after comparing with those of other leading firms located in and around the Gurgaon-Manesar belt," Chaudhary added.
