Toyota standoff: Talks to end deadlock fail

The renewed talks between Toyota Kirloskar Motor management and employees union to end the deadlock over labour issues at two plants near here have failed. "The renewed talks have failed, suspension of thirty labourers is the contentious issue," Additional Labour Commissioner J T Jinkalappa told PTI. To a question, he said: "The next step will be that we will have to prohibit the lockout, we will take that decision in a day or two, first we will have to submit the report to the government after that the decision will happen."
