By Express News Service BENGALURU: The HAL Employees Association has moved the Karnataka High Court questioning the single judge’s order that restrained workers from continuing their strike. Hearing an appeal filed by the association, which challenged the interim order dated October 22, the division bench of Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka and Justice S R Krishna Kumar adjourned the hearing to November 18. The associations’ counsel said that wage revision for 2017-21 was not considered and therefore the indefinite strike was launched on October 14. On the other hand, counsel of the HAL management said the defence organisation had incurred a loss of Rs 17 crore each day for nine days due to the strike. On October 22, the single judge passed an interim order restraining the employees from striking, after hearing a petition filed by the management. The counsel submitted that talks were on between the two parties. Even on Sunday, the management offered a 12% fitment and 25% perks and talks were adjourned to November 15.
