Haldia Petrochemicals Ltd (HPL) plans to form a joint working team with the labour union for speedy resolve of the issue regarding permanent employment to 183 casual workers. Setting up of the Joint Team will ensure that future discussions lead to a mutually acceptable solution. At a bipartite meeting, the union has suggested phase-wise absorption of 'contractors' manpower'. The union has also demanded training for some persons, whose land was acquired for HPL, at local technical institutes.
