Tata Steel, India’s leading steel maker has introduced an early separation scheme for its employees in its Jamshedpur plant in Jharkhand to downsize its ‘less skilled’ workforce. Tata Steel spokesperson said, "ESS scheme is a voluntary scheme and has got nothing to do with the global economic recession. We cannot ascertain the number of people who will be opting for this option.
