The Union is demanding scraping of the current practice of debiting the leave accounts of workers on days when the plant is shut for maintenance. Similarly, the workers should not be forced to compensate for the 10-minute tea break time taken.
Ford India has around 4,600 workers at its plant, out of which around 1,100 are permanent workers.
