HMSI revokes suspension of two Manesar plant workers

New Delhi: Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) on Wednesday said it has revoked suspension of two workers at its Manesar plant following an agreement with the employees union.

"The suspension pending inquiry order issued on two employees has been withdrawn after mutual dialogue between HSMI Employees Union and management to ensure that industrial harmony and discipline prevails in the organisation," HMSI said in a statement.

In the beginning of this month the company had suspended two workers Naresh Yadav and Jaibeer Yadav, an executive member of the union, after it "received a report of manhandling and assault of a manager with an intent of creating an environment of terror in the logistics work area".

The union had maintained that they were suspended on "flimsy grounds" over sanctioning of leave.

"This was a matter of managing internal discipline. Both the said employees are back to work after appropriate disciplinary action has been taken after mutual understanding with the HMSI Employees Union and management," HMSI Vice-President Corporate Affairs & Industrial Relations, Harbhajan Singh said.

Commenting on the agreement, HMSI Employees Union President Ashok Yadav said: "With mutual discussion and spirit of co-operation, management and union are committed to resolve all their internal matters."
