Company says no dispute with labour union but would address any shortcoming if brought to its notice.
The Nowera Nuddy tea estate of Amalgamated Plantations Pvt Ltd (APPL), a close to 50 per cent subsidiary of Tata Tea, accounts for a little more than 1 per cent of the company's tea production in North India, but is threatening its image as an 'ethical' group. The IUF, a global trade union, is running an international campaign against the lockout of the estate.
Tata Tea has started a fresh awareness campaign to allay workers' apprehensions about restructuring of North India Plantation Operations.
