Impasse continued at the Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) plant in Manesar, where 1,500 contract workers went on strike a week ago to protest the retrenchment of their colleagues, as no resolution could be reached even on Monday. This comes a day after the management issued a notice to employees stating: “Due to the prevailing IR (industrial relations) situation, plant operations have been suspended and the plant will remain closed till further intimation”.
