Kochi: US-based CorroHealth on Friday agreed to hold talks with Kerala Government on retrenchment of employees, Kerala Labour Minister Bindu Krishna said on Friday.
Top level company officials of the healthcare technology company will hold further talks in coming days, Bindhu Krishna told reporters.
The meeting took place after Kerala High Court directed both sides to attempt conciliation under the Industrial Relations Code, 2020.
The state government had warned of legal action if the discussions failed to find a settlement.
Labour authorities have also maintained that the company did not provide prior intimation before deciding to shut its Kerala operations.
The Labour Department had intervened after laid-off employees were denied entry to the Kochi office, despite an earlier understanding that they would be allowed to continue entering the premises until the July 10 discussions.
The company has remained firm on its decision to close its Kochi and Kozhikode centres.
