Leading Indian tyre manufacturer Apollo Tyres and its workers have signed a memorandum of understanding with the latter agreeing to go back to work on the second shift of operations on Sunday but around 700 of them have declined to acknowledge the MoU and continued their strike against the company.
According to a senior company official, the Memorandum of Understanding was about the striking workers of the company agreeing to the request of the company to go back to work from the second shift on Sunday but the strikers have declined to do so until the demands they ask from the company are given.
The Memorandum of Understanding did not recognize the union Bhartiya Majdoor Sangh which caused the strikers to continue.
700-800 workers are still going on strike near the Waghodia plant of the company until the company recognizes their union and their request for changes regarding wage as well as to re-instate two of their co-workers that have been suspended. (RJA)
