Honda Motorcycle normalise production at Tapukara

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter, which faced a workers' strike at the Tapukara plant in Rajasthan last week, said production has become normal effective today. The plant has a capacity to produce 1.2 million two wheelers a year.

"Tapukara factory started operations from the very next day (17th February, 2016) after setting right the damage done to some of the machinery during the illegal strike in plant on 16th February, 2016. Since past five days, more and more associates have started resuming duties in the shifts. Today, production has returned to normalcy", the company said in a statement on Monday.

Majority of workers have already resumed work at the plant. Remaining few workers have still not returned to duty and continuing the illegal strike, it said.

Workers are pressurising management for the re-instatement of four terminated workers who were fired. The four were fired for creating disturbances in the plant. The plant has a total of 3,000 employees, including management staff, permanent and contractual workers.
