According to him, there is not much progress in the talks on the severance package.
However, workers have started reporting to duty after (a) agreeing with the severance package (b) not agreeing with the severance package, he added.
Ford India has extended the plant shutdown date till July end. Earlier the company said it would wind up production at its Maraimalainagar plant by June end.
On the other hand, the arbitration proceedings in respect of wage revision for workers of Renault Nissan Automotive India Private Ltd is progressing, said an officer bearer of Renault Nissan India Thozhilalar Sangam (RNITS)/worker's union told IANS.
He said some interim payments have been made by the company to the workers.
