[Tea Plantation Workers - Related News]

The deadlock between the management of Powai Tea Estate and the agitated Powai Learners workers was resolved amicably during an emergency meeting held in the Estate office. The Powai Learners Union had resorted to a day-long 'tool down' strike on Monday and staged a hunger strike demanding immediate re-filling of nine vacant posts across the industry. The strike was suspended late Monday night after the workers received formal assurance from the management concerned.
