Two-wheeler major, Hero MotoCorp's Gurgaon plant workers have demanded a hike in monthly wages of up to Rs 18,000 over a three-year period. This hike will be nearly three times higher than what the company is offering as part of a wage settlement agreement.
Under the aegis of Hero MotoCorp Workers Union (HMCWU), nearly 1,200 permanent workers are observing silent protest by wearing black badges and not taking tea and snacks provided by the company to press for their demand. The union had submitted its demand in August last year and its representatives have been holding negotiations with the management since then.
