The workers came out with a charter in March 2005, with more than 50 demands. The management did not yield to this. Hence, the workers started collecting funds, company took alleged steps to frighten the employees. Later, the workers wanted to form a union and the company has issued a good conduct statement with severe litigations. The workers denied signing it. The company has hired temporary workers and later, there was police interference for which employees reacted violently and police waited for the right time to attack and it was a brutal attack on the workers in the end.
