Fresh trouble for Honda; 200 workers go on strike

Around 200 contract workers of two-wheeler manufacturer Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India, the fully owned subsidiary of Japan's Honda Motor, went on strike today demanding regularisation of services.

According to sources, police have been depolyed at the company's factory at Manesar in Haryana.

When contacted, company officials said the strike "was a matter between the contractors and their workers, and HMSI has nothing to do with it".

Production at the factory has not been hit, the officials said.

The contract workers struck work just days after the management signed a three-year agreement with the company's labour union.
