CITU State president A. Soundararajan said the impasse in the talks between a section of workers and the management of Yamaha Motor India would be settled by November 14.

Talking to reporters on Friday, he said mediatory talks conducted by the Kancheepuram District Administration with the representatives of the workers and the YMI management has given hope that the company would concede the demands of the workers positively.

“The district administration has informed us that the company representatives had sought time till November 14 to get the approval of the company's top-level management for the demand put forth by us on behalf of the workers,” he said.

Demanding that two of their co-workers, who took the initiative to form a labour union, should be reinstated, the workers are on a strike for more than a month.

The company representatives did not turn up for the Friday meeting and are expected to attend the next week's meeting, he added.
