BENGALURU: The indefinite strike by the workers of the state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) for wage revision continued on the 8th day, with the trade unions and management hardening their positions, an official said on Monday.
“There is a production loss as nearly 20,000 workers are on strike since October 14 despite 8,000 officers and 11,000 contract employees reporting to duty,” the official told IANS.
Refuting the management claim that the strike had not grounded the company’s operations, HAL trade union General Secretary S. Chandrasekhar said as officers don’t work on the shop floor or operate any machine, work at all the nine production units has halted.
