Bajaj Auto that might face a workers’ strike at its Chakan plant from May 15...Vishwa Kalyan Kamgar Sanghatana (VKKS), an independent union of workers engaged at Bajaj Auto (BAL) across its Akurdi, Chakan and other plants, had issued a threat to go on strike and stop production of bikes at the Chakan plant from April 28…saying that it was giving more time to the management to consider the union’s charter of demands which includes an allocation of CSR funds for education of employees' children and allotment of equity shares at a discounted price...Rajiv Bajaj, MD, Bajaj Auto, had dismissed their demands, saying...the demands of the union...are entirely insane this time around. We will be certain not to repeat that error while taking all possible care to ensure the safety of the majority of our colleagues who wish to continue to work, as also the continuity of production so as to protect the interests of our customers, dealers, and suppliers.”
