Bajaj may face strike, gets support from locals in Chakan

Bajaj Auto that might face a workers' strike at its Chakan plant from May 15, has received support from around 200 villages in and around the Chakan region. In a statement issued yesterday, Bajaj Auto has said that representatives of these villages have expressed concern of adverse effects that labour strikes have on existing industries - viz. declining manufacturing volumes, and also on new entrants who may hesitate to invest in the Chakan area in the near future.
