Toyota Kirloskar: Hunger Strike Continues Even As Some Return To Work
The standoff between the management of Toyota Kirloskar and the labor union has not ended, even though it has been reported that a few workers have returned to work.
Around 300 out of the 4,200 unionised workers are said to have reported back to work after signing the undertaking of good conduct which the management has been insisting on.
After ending the lockout on March 24th Toyota management had announced workers could return to work after signing the undertaking, which was to ensure the safety of its other staff and property.
The labour union, meanwhile, claims the workers who did go back to work returned before the end of the day. Taking their protest to the next level, 25 members of the union began fasting two days back, which still continues.
Meanwhile, Toyota Kirloskar has revealed that a total of 2,000 workers have been deployed on the manufacturing line, consisting of 1200 supervisors and 800 apprentice staff. Another 400 contract workers have also been deployed, though are not tasked with assembly work. The number of apprentice and contract workers are said to be within the permitted limits allowed by the labour department.
The automaker has confirmed that daily production is currently at less than half the normal capacity of 700 units, with only 300 to 350 units being produced. Naturally, waiting periods have gone up. Toyota says its customers are being kept updated about the delays.
