More than Prestige
The 48-day strike of 35,000 workers of engineering units at Jamshedpur has drawn strong condemnation from J R D Tata. This is understandable since in JRD’s view the long drawn-out strike has tarnished the Tata image as an employer. But it needs to be questioned whether JRD’s contention that no labour disputes or demands were involved in the strike which, according to him, was solely the result of inter-group rivalries among workers, is factually correct.
