New Delhi, Oct 14 : After a day-long suspension of work due to workers’ strike at the company’s Dharuhera plant on Monday, Hero Honda Motor India said production resumed at the unit on Tuesday, though some of the casual employees continued to stay way from work.

“Our plant at Dharuhera has had normal operations today, with most employees, including contract workers, reporting for work,” the company said in a statement.

Worker sources, however, said only the permanent employees had reported for work from this morning. “Out of a total of about 4,500 workers, about 3,000 casual and contractual workers are still on strike since Sunday and we will not withdraw till our demands are met,” they added.

The striking workers have demanded regularization of casual and contractual employees, wages to be paid under Haryana government norms and reinstatement of suspended workers.

“Hero Honda continues to comply with every established government and legal norms. In fact, every workman in the company is drawing much more than the minimum wages as laid down by the state of Haryana,” the company said.
