Tata Motors workers end strike at Jamshedpur plant after 4 days

Key highlights:

• Tata Motors and its temporary workers at the Jamshedpur plant agreed to end the four-day strike
• The strike so far has resulted in production loss of around 700 vehicles a month
• Unions agreed to the management offer to take 200 of the over 4,500 temporary workers on to the rolls annually

Tata Motors and its temporary workers at the Jamshedpur plant who were on a strike since Tuesday today agreed to end the four-day impasse.

The ice-breaker came in after the unions agreed to the management offer to take 200 of the over 4,500 temporary workers on to the rolls annually. At the reconciliation meeting held yesterday, the workers had turned down instead asked for upgrade of at least 500 workers annually.

Following the settlement, the company said, the plant has resumed normal production. The plant makes around 400 units of commercial vehicles a day, which had come down to 60-70 during the strike.
