Amid the closure of its Talegaon plant near Pune, General Motors is grappling with unrest as over 1,000 former workers initiated an indefinite chain hunger strike. The workers are protesting unemployment and their non-absorption by Hyundai Motor India, which has an initial agreement to acquire the facility. General Motors asserts that it has offered a separation package seven times the statutory requirement, which the labor union declined. Despite the deadlock, GM expresses eagerness to sign the final agreement with Hyundai Motor India for the plant’s sale. The situation underscores the challenges in resolving the aftermath of plant closures and transitions in the automotive industry.
