Ashok Leyland is one of the first players in the manufacturing sector to set up its unit in Hosur industrial town in Tamil Nadu. Currently it has two units in Hosur, both in Sipcot 1 and Sipcot 2.
According to sources, as many as 1,629 employees are working in Ashok Leyland Unit-2. As the factory is currently running in two shifts, around 2,500 contract labours are on jobs.
Benefits
A sum of Rs 20,280 yielded as the benefit of this agreement, said an office bearer attached to the Union led by Mr Michael Fernandez. As the agreement has been delayed for 15 months, he said the employees will get Rs 1.04,320 calculated on the basis of 36% interest as compensation.
