Greaves unit under lock-out

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI JULY 8. Work at Gummudipoondi facility of Greaves has come to a standstill following a reported lock-out. The unit has around 50 workmen and is making concrete pumps and vibrating compactor. The management is understood to have taken this extreme step following the alleged failure of workmen to settle for a specified increase in productivity. Union sources, however, say that they are willing for a 50 per cent improvement in productivity.

The management is believed to be demanding a 200 per cent improvement in production with the existing manpower. The inability of the management to commit any wage increase consequent to improved productivity has upset the labour. Maintaining that they will like the issue to be resolved through discussions, union sources, nevertheless, said that they would like to move the appropriate authorities to facilitate an amicable end to the imbroglio.
