Moser Baer, a manufacturer of optical storage media, has confirmed that about 150 workers at its optical disc plant at Greater Noida are protesting outside the plant premises.
A company spokesperson said that while these employees are protesting and raising slogans outside the premises, they are not on strike as they continue to work during their shift timings.
The manufacturing plant is in operation, Mr Bhaskar Sharma, CEO, Blank Optical Media & Consumer Electronics at Moser Baer India, said in the statement.
“Unfortunately, a very small group of approximately 150 associates from the packaging section of one of our optical disc plants out of around 10,000 associates have come up with unreasonable demands,” Mr Sharma said.
However, the company did not elaborate on the demands of the agitating workers. “We at Moser Baer have always enjoyed a very cordial relationship and have maintained high engagement levels with all our associates…We are currently in discussion with them and looking at their concerns,” he said.
Moser Baer manufactures the full range of optical storage media products including Recordable Compact Discs (CD-R), Rewritable Compact Discs (CD-RW), Recordable Digital Versatile Discs (DVD-R), Rewritable Digital Versatile Discs (DVD-RW) and blue laser discs (HD-DVD and Blu-ray).
