Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
A group of workers on Tuesday erected huts on a private tea estate at Mepadi in Wayanad district in protest against the apathy of the management in lifting the lockout declared four months ago. The management of the Chembra tea estate declared a lockout arbitrarily at three divisions on October 27 alleging that workers were frequently going on strike, with the estate suffering losses. The workers then started an indefinite fast in front of the estate office at Erumakolly, near Meppadi, from October 28 demanding lifting of the lockout.
