Tata Motors re-recruits laid-off workers

The Tata Motors Employees’ Union president Sujit Patil said that the number of temporary workers have definitely increased over the last three months.

In November,the Tata Motors had announced lay offs of 3,000 workers and had shutdown for a limited period in these two months.

Officials said that the Tata Motors,which is into the production of commercial vehicles and SUVs,has increased the numbers of despatches since January. This had led to an increase of about 50-60 per cent in temporary workers.

The Tata Motors spokesperson Debashish Ray said that this was a regular feature in all automobile factories and sought to downplay the move. “There was nothing extraordinary in what was happening in November and December. This is a year-long process and the cycle goes on. Temporary assignments are by nature temporary. When assignments come up,we recruit workers and when they end,we let the workers go,” said Ray.
