Calcutta, March 25 :     The Supreme Court has asked the Dunlop India management to pay in full the wages due to the 2,750 workers at its Ambattur factory till February 8, 1998, the date on which the work suspension notice was issued. The workers of the Ambattur factory had filed a writ petition in the Madras high court, demanding their wages from November 1997 till February 8, 1998. The Madras high court had directed the management to clear the salaries of the workers immediately. However, the company moved the Supreme Court against the high court order. The Supreme Court, which passed its order recently, said, ?By way of interim relief, we permit the appellants to sell the stock of finished goods lying in the factory at Ambattur, Chennai, and deposit the net sale proceeds with the high court where the writ petition is pending. The high court shall distribute the said amount amongst the workers in the manner as may be agreed by the two parties or which may be found just and proper by the high court.? A senior representative of Dunlop Factory Employees Union, Ambattur, however, said, ?The company has not initiated any steps to pay our wages. It is yet to sell the stock of finished goods lying inside the factory.? The management is, however, in the process of clearing provident fund and gratuity of those workers who have already retired or have expired. ?Till December last year the management has cleared the dues of some of the retired personnel,? said a company senior official in Chennai. The management staff have been asked, though not officially, to try for jobs elsewhere. ?We have been asked to look for jobs or wait till the company reopens. We are not getting our salary from June last year,? the official said. ?The Supreme Court order is very crucial for us also. We have filed a petition in the Calcutta high court demanding our wages. The result of the case is awaited,? said Aniruddha Sengupta, general secretary of All India Dunlop Employees? Federation. The workers are now waiting for the fresh revival plan which the management is supposed to submit to the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) by April 15. ?We had rejected the earlier revival plan submitted by the company to the West Bengal government and BIFR. If the fresh revival plan seeks once again sacrifice from the workers we will strongly oppose it,? Sengupta said.
