At last, victory goes in favour of the workers’ struggle and the Kuarmunda-based Adhunik Mettaliks limited (AMl). The unit, which had declared lockout since February 13, reopened on May 15. It may be noted here that this was decided in an agreement between company management and Adhunik Mettaliks Karmachari Sangha (affiliated to CITU) on May 8 last.
According to the agreement, besides reopening of the company on May 15, the workers those were engaged as on February 12 will be retaken between May 15 and June 8. All the stakeholders will be intimated through notice ahead of five days of opening of the company. They would get December’s wage immediately, January wage in June and February wage in July with all arrears.
Besides, the workers’ other demands will be taken up after a bipartite discussion gradually.
