Workers also received assurance that the management ‘will not victimise’ those who had participated in the strike after resumption of work.
The management has promised a written assurance to the charter of demand filed by the workers before the conciliation officer, said the State Labour Department. The striking workers of Samsung India’s plant too have assured that they will cooperate with the management, and will do any act that is ‘prejudicial to the interest of the management’.
The plant – one of Samsung’s two factories in India – employs roughly 1,800 permanent workers and makes refrigerators, TVs and washing machines. The other one in Uttar Pradesh makes smartphones.
Critical to Samsung’s ambitions in India, the plant accounted for roughly one-fifth of its $12 billion sales from India in FY23.
