Talks between one of Tata Motors' subsidiaries, bus-maker Tata Marcopolo Motors, and workers of its Dharwad plant in Karnataka did not produce any meaningful result, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
However, Tata Motors said that it will do everything it possibly can to resolve the issue after a lockout was declared at the Dharwad plant of Tata Marcopolo Motors earlier this month following a strike by workmen over wage negotiations.
The company said that Tata Marcopolo attended a meeting on Tuesday which was called by the Assistant Labour Commissioner as part of its continued effort to find a solution to the ongoing crisis.
"We were present and willing to hold discussions with people connected to the company. However, as clarified even earlier, we expressed our concern in engaging with unconnected people during the meeting," it said.
The self-proclaimed office bearers of the 'Krantikari Kamgar Union', an outfit not recognised by the company on technical and legal grounds, insisted on participating and eventually prevented any meaningful dialogue taking place, the auto major said.
The company added that it has reiterated its commitment to the operations in Dharwad, as well as to the well-being and safety of its employees.
"We also remain committed to finding a long-term and fair solution to the current situation, without any compromise on discipline, safety, productivity, and quality," it said.
The company is hopeful that a solution may be found soon which will allow production in the plant to resume.
The Tata Marcopolo plant in Dharwad employs over 2,500 people and has the capacity to manufacture over 15,000 buses per annum.
The plant rolls out fully-built buses for intra-city and inter-city transportation, including 16 to 54-seater standard buses and 18 to 45-seater luxury and low-floor city buses.
