NEW DELHI: A day-long strike by workers of state-owned Coal India led to a production loss of about 57 per cent on Tuesday, a company official said on Wednesday.
Coal India (CIL) and Singareni Collieries Company Ltd (SCCL) workers were on a day-long strike on Tuesday protesting the Centre’s decision to allow 100 per cent foreign direct investment in the two PSUs through automatic route.
The strike call was given by five central trade unions namely INTUC, HMS, AITUC, CITU and AICCTU. The production hit on Tuesday was at about 57 per cent, the official said.
