Two-wheeler manufacturer, Royal Enfield, in an official statement has said: "We are in dialogue with our plant-based forums to amicably resolve all concerns. Royal Enfield has always been deeply committed to maintaining and furthering cordial relations with its staff and workforce to understand and fulfil their aspirations, and we will continue to do so."
The company has not terminated anyone in the wake of recent developments at the Oragadam plant. Salary revisions are done annually. The last annual salary revision was done in April 2018, and the next revision is due in April 2019, the company said in a statement in the wake of the strike by workers.
“Royal Enfield’s manufacturing facility at Oragadam has been operational since Saturday, September 29, 2018, after a part of the workforce had not reported for duty since September 24. We expect to reach regular levels of production in a phased manner. Our manufacturing facility at Vallam Vadagal continues to operate and deliver to its full capacity," the statement said.
“The Oragadam facility has been in operation for the last six years and has been a positive example of progressive human resource practices. We have internal mechanisms that facilitate collaborative working with leadership, to address matters related to the well-being of our workforce,” the statement said.
