Work at Dunlop unit suspended

KOLKATA: Dunlop India Limited declared on Sunday suspension of work at its unit in Sahaganj in West Bengal’s Hooghly district. The unit has a workforce of 1,171.

Workers demonstrated outside the factory protesting against the management’s decision to suspend work that was brought to their attention through a notice pasted on the gate.

The announcement comes in the wake of failure of several rounds of discussions between the management and labour unions, following a decision by the former to temporarily suspend production at the unit on November 17. Both the sides have also held talks with the State government since then.
