About 250 of GM's 900 workers went on strike on March 16. As a result, production dropped from 100 vehicles per shift to 70.
GM says that it gave the workers until March 25 to show up for work. Now, the automaker says it is looking into the legality of letting the 250 striking workers go.
To temporarily stave off a product drought, GM has hired enough temporary staff to bring production back up to speed.
"We have started hiring people and production of vehicles is going up," GM India Vice President P. Balendran told Indian media. The automaker builds a variety of Chevrolet products primarily aimed at the fast-growing Indian market in Halol.
GM says that the strike has cost the company 850 vehicles, but the new temporary hires have helped increase production.
