Dear Friends,
Following is just one of 200+ letters that I wrote to 7500 employees of Larsen & Turbo Ltd’s, Mumbai factory, when I was General Manager (1979 - 1987). This open honest communication led to a remarkable improvement in industrial relations. If you wish to download the entire set, just click hereRegards,
Hemen Parekh

Deputy General Managers I enclose herewith an article that appeared in Business India (NOV 5-18) on"The dilemma of Managerial Unionism"
To be able to establish a rapport with our own L&T Officers & Supervisors Association (LTOSA), I have started a monthly meeting with their managing committee (approx. 30 persons), where I also invite some of our Powai- based senior managers. We have had 2 meetings so far. I personally feel such a forum helps reduce a lot of misunderstanding. In case you wish to know the issues being raised and discussed at these meetings, please let me know- also in case you wish to attend one of these meetings.
