AITUC has claimed that the HMSI management has dismissed contract workers and trainees from service of more than 2,000 in numbers along with 102 regular workers. The reason was that they were trying to form a union at the unit.

It further claimed that it has not been allowed to stage a protest either in front of the factory in Alwar or Jaipur for the last seven months due to "pressure from the management of the Japanese multinational". AITUC also said the "victimised workers" will be submitting their memorandum to the Union Labour and Employment Minister for taking back the sacked workers.
