However, with the workers rallying around Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), the company has made it clear that it will not recognise workers' union.
The strike of Samsung India workers at the company Electronics Plants in Tamil Nadu entered its 19th day today with the company ensuring them that it would consider their demands, including revision of wages, if they end the protest and return to work. However, with the workers rallying around Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), the company has made it clear that it will not recognise workers' union.
About 1,000 of the total 1,750 employee are on strike in Kancheepuram district pressing for various demands including better pay packages and working conditions.
"In Tamil Nadu, no law mandates recognition of the Union. It is the company's discretion. The Union is not registered, so the question doesn't arise," Anand Gopalan, the company's legal counsel told NDTV.
