BANGALORE: Japanese carmaker Toyota said employees at its strike-hit complex in southern India returned to work Tuesday, ending a five-week standoff.
Unionised employees had refused to go back to their jobs at the twin plant complex near high-tech hub Bangalore following an end to an eight-day company lockout last month, amid a dispute over pay and other issues.
Toyota Kirloskar Motor Private Ltd is the Indian unit of the world’s biggest carmaker. “All the workmen have returned to work and things are returning to normal,” a spokesman said. AFP
