A section of the employees of the Sriperumbudur unit of auto-maker Hyundai Motor India went on a flash strike today, demanding reinstatement of 60 employees dismissed last year on grounds of "unruly practices."
While trade union leaders could not be reached, police sources confirmed the strike.
The Hyundai management said it had already reinstated 20 of the 87 persons dismissed in December last year on "humanitarian grounds," based on negotiations held in the presence of state government officials.
"As per the agreement, this strike and demand for the reinstatement of the rest of the dismissed workers is not legal. We hope the state government intervenes to ensure a solution to this matter," a company spokesperson said.
