Honda suffers strike jolt in bike journey

Barely a day after it worked out a separation from the Hero Group to chart its own course in motorbikes, Japan’s Honda Motor suffered a jolt at the weekend when it faced a flash strike. Production at Honda Motorcycle and Scooters India’s (HMSI) Manesar factory resumed on Sunday after a brief unrest

on Friday, when workers struck work against the alleged assault on a casual worker by one of the factory’s security staff. Honda kept the plant shut on Saturday, advancing its holiday to avoid trouble.

The strike, which the company says was a minor incident, happened a day after Honda announced it will sell off its 26% stake in world’s largest two-wheeler company, Hero Honda Motors Ltd. It symbolised the Japanese firm’s problems in managing industrial relations in India.
