<h1>Union rights challenged as employees strike over alleged coercion into management-backed committee; talks sought to resolve dispute.</h1> A workforce sit-in demands reinstatement of three suspended union office bearers, alleging managerial coercion to join a management backed Workers' Committee and asserting protection of union representation. The employer denies coercion, describes the suspensions as disciplinary actions taken after complaints and formal enquiry consistent with law, and expresses willingness to engage in government facilitated talks; labour department intervention is reported as pending.
