Hundreds of workers at a Ford factory in India's western Gujarat state protested outside the plant on Tuesday.Hundreds of workers at a Ford Motor Co factory in India's western Gujarat state protested outside the car maker's plant on Tuesday, demanding that the factory's closure plan be scrapped or workers be provided other jobs.
“After working here for seven years, I am suddenly being told I do not have a job. What is my future?” asked Anil Singh Jhala, one of the workers. “Our demand before the company and the government is that the plant should not be shut,” he added. “If the plant is going to be shut, our request to the government is that when any other plant comes up here, we should get priority for jobs there at the same wage.
“We will be working with the unions and other stakeholders on measures to help balance the affect and to care for those directly affected by the restructuring,” he added. “We have started discussions with the union and have nothing additional to share.”
