After the Lok Sabha elections in the state April 17, the state government directed the management and the union to restore normalcy in operations to maintain industrial peace and harmony in and around the city.
In view of the government order, the management has also agreed to the return of the employees without any undertaking.
“As the government ordered both the company and union to restore normalcy, it is important that both of us comply with the order and resume operations immediately,” a company official told IANS.
The suspended employees, however, will not be reporting to work till inquiry against them is completed.
“Though our demands and issues arising out of the 36-day stand-off are being referred to the tribunal, we are open to an out-of-court settlement if the management is ready,” Satish said.
The two plants have an installed capacity to produce about 310,000 units annually.
The 16-year-old joint venture rolls out a range of models, including Innova multi-utility vehicle, Camry sedan, Prius hybrid, Corolla Altis, Etios, Prado and Land Cruiser, with some of them imported as completely built units.
