PTI reported that the 2 day all India strike launched by the Centre of Indian Trade Unions has hit steel production at Steel Authority of India Limited’s Rourkela Steel Plant.
The workers affiliated to the CITU organised demonstrations at different entry points to the plant obstructing anyone’s movement through them. However, no untoward incident has been reported.
As per report, the strike, which began on Friday, has hit most of the important departments like SMS-II, blast furnaces, silicon steel mill, cold rolling mill etc.
The report quoted that a RSP official spokesperson admitted that normal work and production were affected and the attendance was about 52% on Saturday.
The CITU has been demanding wage revision as the National Joint Committee on Steel failed to sort out this issue despite several rounds of meetings in New Delhi.
