Workers say norms are being flouted
Renault-Nissan told an Indian court that it needs to continue production at its car plant to meet orders, rejecting claims from an employee union that COVID-19 safety protocols were being ignored at the factory, legal filings show. Renault-Nissan India and workers at its plant in Tamil Nadu have been locked in a legal tussle after workers petitioned a court to halt operations alleging that physical distancing norms were being flouted and company-provided health benefits were outweighed by the risk to their lives. In response, Renault-Nissan said in a court filing, which is not public, that there was a “compelling need” to continue operations to fulfil domestic and export orders. It said all COVID-19 norms were being followed.More Related News
