Bajaj Auto is once again in the news with the Labour Unions of the Chakan Plant, threatening to strike this month.
Bajaj Auto's independent labour union, the Vishwa Kalyan Kamgar Sanghatana (VKKS), has threatened to strike at the main Chakan plant of the two wheel manufacturer, starting on the 28th of April 2014. The VKKS claims that the company is not using its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds for the workers. On Monday, the workers served a notice to the management of the company, that they would stop work on the 28th. There are around 2000 workers in the Chakan plant, with the KTM, Kawasaki motorcycles manufactured and assembled here. The premium range of Bajaj the Pulsar and Avenger are also produced at the Chakan plant.

Last year in June, the labour union in the Chakan plant had threatened a 50 day strike, which was later called off unconditionally. Rajiv Bajaj on that occasion, had said that he would let the plant be closed for 500 days but not give in to the demands of the workers.

"The company has continued to harass workers and the situation is the same. Also, it is not using its corporate social responsibility funds for workers. Our demand is we must get a significant share of this fund."
"If the strike happens, the union will be responsible for the losses. We are capable of running the production line smoothly. Like last year, we will manage production from other units. The production will not be hampered at any cost. Last year, the workers had suffered huge financial losses due to the strike. We are really concerned for our workers and do not want to make them to suffer."
