In a relief to Pune-based two-wheeler maker Bajaj Auto, its employees union on Sunday deferred the proposed strike from tomorrow by two weeks saying that workers have decided to give more time to the management to consider their charter of demands.
The decision to put off the proposed strike was taken after a four-hour long meeting of union leaders at company’s Chakan plant. “We have decided to defer our proposed strike at Chakan plant by two weeks. We have conveyed our decision to the management,” Bajaj Auto employee union President Dilip Pawar told the news agency. Pawar said the decision was taken keeping in view the interest of employees and also grant more time to the management to consider the union’s demand.
The union, on April 14, had served a notice with a list of demands, which include allocation of CSR funds for education of employees’ children, setting up a museum in the name of company’s founder Jamnalal Bajaj within a year and allotment of shares at a discounted price.
