President of Bajaj Auto labour union - Vishwakalyan Kamgar Sanghatna - Dilip Pawar will be going on an indefinite hunger strike from January 29, 2018, to press for an immediate settlement of the wage agreement for workers at Chakan and Akurdi plants. Pawar, on behalf of the union, will be on an indefinite hunger strike and no other worker will join him. So, production will continue. Negotiations for the wage agreement for April 2016-March 2019 have been going on between the management and the union, but no amicable settlement has been agreed upon. Bajaj Auto and the union had signed a nine-year agreement in May 2010, under which wages were to be reviewed every three years. The wage agreement for the 2016-19 period was due in April 2016.
