The Karnataka Government has declared the Bosch workers’ strike at the Bangalore plant illegal. The Workmen Union of Bosch’s strike has entered the 25th day on Friday. Prior to this declaration, the Labour Commissioner and the Additional Labour Commissioner had convened conciliatory meetings between the company management and the members of workmen union, with special interventions of several senior government officials.

Given the lack of consensus among various factions of the Workmen Union,these proceedings did not result in a mutually agreeably resolution. “Bosch is one of the highest paymasters in the manufacturing industry (region cum sector). Our current offer on the wage negotiation to the Workmen Union is also one of the best amongst comparable industries,” company said in a release.
