Staff workers decide strike at Toyota Kirloskar's Bidadi factory
By MYBRANDBOOK
Amid the lockdown struggle that is being faced by every company, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM)
struggles with another challenge of delivering vehicles on time. The firm, however, denies the shutdown would hurt deliveries as of now.
“We would try our best to service the customer demand from vehicles in stock both at dealers and at the factory. Moreover, we are trying our best to ensure that there is no impact of this strike on our customers and stakeholders,” said a company spokesperson.
“We have prioritised the customer orders and we will plan to meet the customer demand by channelising the resources as soon as possible,” added the spokesperson.
A staff member was suspended from work, who also happens to be the union member. After his suspension nearly 1200 employees went on strike over the suspension, which led to shutting down of the company.
“The person comes with a track record of indiscipline behaviour and has violated company policies. Therefore he was put on suspension,” said the TKM spokesperson. An enquiry has been initiated to resolve the issue.
However, the workers’ union has said the employee in question was speaking to workers regarding their grievances inside the factory when he was placed under suspension and that the charges were made-up. The workers’ union has over 3,000 members.
“At present the TKM Union has resorted to illegal sit-in strike and those team members are unlawfully staying in the company premises and compromising the Covid-19 guidelines. Due to the current volatile atmosphere and to protect the safety of employees, Toyota Kirloskar Motor is forced to declare a “lockout” until further notice. Communication and dialogue with relevant stakeholders is ongoing to try and resolve the issue,” the company had earlier said in a statement.
Spread over 432 acres, the Bidadi plant manufactures variants such as Innova and Fortuner. It has two units with an annual production capacity of up to 310,000 vehicles. A part of Japan’s Toyota Motor Corp, it employs 6,500 people.
