Ranchi hosts a landmark tripartite agreement, ensuring the permanent employment of 900 temporary workers annually at Tata Motors Jamshedpur.
RANCHI – A groundbreaking agreement was reached in Ranchi during tripartite talks chaired by the Labor Commissioner.

State Congress Committee’s special invitee member Riyazuddin Khan praised the joint efforts of the Jharkhand Government, Labor Commissioner, Tata Motors Management, and Tata Motors Workers Union.
The agreement ensures that temporary employees will receive all benefits under the Companies Act, akin to permanent employees.
