Work restarts at Hero Honda's Daruhera plant

Hero Honda has announced that work has resumed at the company’s plant in Daruhera, in Haryana. An agreement has been made with the workers, and the strike has been called off. ‘Normalcy has been restored at our Daruhera plant following a mutually amicable resolution of certain concerns raised by some contract labourers due to instigation by external elements,’ a press release from Hero Honda.

Hero Honda management had earlier moved some contract labourers from one work area to another, within the Daruhera plant, which had not gone down too well with the workers. Matters had been compounded given the fact that some workers feared losing their jobs because of Hero Honda’s plans of shifting a large chunk of production to its new plant near Haridwar, in Uttarakhand.
