Strike at LG’s plant in Greater Noida might hurt the company’s production

Greater Noida (TNN) Labour unrest at LG’s plant in Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh might hurt the company’s production of large home appliances. Hundreds of permanent and contract workers are agitating near the plant since Monday. The majority of the plant’s 2,000-odd workers have joined the strike.“All our production lines are functioning. There is only a partial impact,” LG said.

According to Manoj Kumar Chaubey, president of the LG Electronics Employees Union, 850 permanent workers at the plant are on strike. “Around 1,200 contract workers have also stopped working. Production is shut,” he said.

The union went on strike on Monday when 11 permanent workers were evicted from the premises without notice. “We offer an attractive compensation package that matches prevalent wages across the industry. There are ongoing efforts along with the district administration to sort this out,” LG said on Wednesday.
