An early end to the six-day old indefinite strike by more than 10,000 contract labourers of Neyveli Lignite Corporation looked bleak with first round of tripartite conciliatory talks held here on Monday ending in a deadlock.
The meeting convened by the Central Labour Commissioner in Chennai and attended by representatives of NLC and the trade unions, including AITUC, which accounts for over 7,000 contract labourers, failed to reach any settlement, company and union officials informed.
'The meeting held has failed. NLC management insisted the contract labourers withdraw the strike. We have firmly said unless our demands are met, we will not end the strike', AITUC Cuddalore District General Secretary A Sekar told reporters here emerging from the meeting.
