Strike ends at Indian supplier to GM, Ford
Workers at an India auto-parts maker have ended a six-week strike, which had hit transmission parts supplies to General Motors and Ford Motor Co. and caused the shutdown of at least two North American crossover vehicle plants, Reuters reported.
“We had a settlement last night,” Surendra Singh, senior vice president for human resources at Rico Auto Industries Ltd., said today, the news service reported. “Within a day or two, we’ll be able to achieve 100 percent production.”
More than 2,000 workers at the Rico plant, which makes transmission parts for vehicles and is located outside India’s capital, began the strike on Sept. 21 after the company suspended some of their colleagues citing indiscipline, Reuters said. Singh said the firm would make up for the lost production by increasing plant capacity utilization, the story said. (Reuters/Automotive News)
