Workers of the Rourkela Steel Plant today threatened to go on an indefinite strike demanding fulfilment of its 16-point charter demands.
"The indefinite strike would start from February 18 if the plant management fail to meet the demands," Rourkela Shramik Sangh (RSS) general secretary M D N Panicker told reporters here.
A strike notice has given to the plant management in accordance with sub section (1) of section 22 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
