    The workers were surprised and angry when their company, PIL, relocated its audio product line to Pune, displacing 600 workers. The workers approached Videocon, who PIL was planning to sell the factory to, and requested they withdraw from the deal since the workers did not want Videocon as their employer and distrusted that they would pay wages. A judge ruled that while the workers could demand their rights, they had no say in company policy decisions unless their interests were adversely affected. Following the transfer of ownership, all factory workers were employed by the new owner, Kitchen Appliances.

    PIL wanted to concentrate its audio and video manufacturing bases of

    products to different geographic regions. In line with this decision, the company relocated its audio
    product

    line to Pune. In spite of the move that resulted in the displacement of 600 workers,

    The workers were surprised and angry at the decision. Kiron Mehta said, “The management’s
    decision to sell

    the factory is a major volte face considering its efforts at promoting it and then adding capacity
    every year.”

    The workers then approached the Dhoots of Videocon requesting them to withdraw from the deal as
    they

    were unwilling to have Videocon as their employer.

    PIL said that it would not let the workers use the Philips brand and that the workers could not sell
    the CTVs

    without it. Moreover the workers were taking a great risk by using their savings to buy out the plant.

    Countering this, the workers said that they did not trust Videocon to be a good employer and that it
    might

    not be able to pay their wages.

    The judge said that though the workers can demand for their rights, they had no say in

    any of the policy decisions of the company, if their interests were not adversely affected.

    Following the transfer of ownership, the employment of all workmen of the factory was

    taken over by Kitchen Appliances with immediate effect.
