The tussle between the management and the workers of Bosch continued after the management threatened a lockout at the factory in Bangalore.

The component making unit is the main factory of the company.

If the management goes for a lockout, it will be the second in a row. The plant at Naganathapura was closed on March 9, after the agitating employees refused to come back to normalcy.

As much as 3,000 employees have gone on a go-slow strike. Another 1,000 employees have already stopped working for the past two days.

They are demanding a hike of up to Rs. 15,000 in their monthly salaries and are also asking that medical facilities be provided to them.

As a result of the whole episode, the production has already been affected with a 40 per cent drop. And Bosch is expected to have lost close to Rs. 120 crore as of now.

Telling about the whole thing, Soumitra Bhattacharya, Senior Vice President, Bosch Limited said that the company is forced to think about lockout in Bangalore facility. He also said that a notice has been served to the employees and if they do not react to it then the plant will be close anytime.
