Bengaluru: Refuting the company's charge that their indefinite strike for wage hike was illegal, 9 unions of the state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) on Tuesday accused its management of indulging in double standards.
"Our strike since Monday is legal as we gave the notice on September 30 as per the Industrial Disputes Act and informed the regional labour commissioner on going for tool down from October 14 if our demands were not met," All India HAL Trade Unions' coordination committee general secretary S. Chandrasekhar told IANS here.
Charging the management of misleading the public on wage revision due since January 1, 2017 for a 5-year period, the union leader said the company did not issue any order on their demand, forcing them to resort to strike with prior notice.
"Our demand is the benefits for us should be on par with the other PSUs (public sector undertakings) and in compliance with the wage agreements applicable to all the public sector enterprises (PSEs)," asserted Chandrasekhar.
Noting that the strike was the first in the 55-year-old defence behemoth, Chandrasekhar said the company had entered into an agreement with its executives on January 1, 2017 offering them higher wage revision and a raw deal for the workforce.
