CMRL Workers Call Off Strike After Talks

Three workers suspended for sabotage of train services

- 

Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) on Wednesday suspended three workers — two traffic controllers and one depot controller — for sabotage of train services on April 29.

Later in the day, employees who had boycotted work, called off their strike following successful conclusion of talks between the employees’ union, management and Labour Department officials.

A CMRL official said all the 250 staff members who boycotted work would report for duty on Thursday. Eight employees, who were dismissed by the management last month, can now appeal to the managing director of CMRL requesting revocation of the termination order, a Labour Department official said.
