CorroHealth, workers, Kerala govt asked to explore conciliation

KOCHI: The High Court has directed US-based healthcare technology firm CorroHealth, its employees and the government to participate in conciliation proceedings under the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, following the company’s decision to wind up its operations in Kochi and Kozhikode, which resulted in the retrenchment of around 800 employees last week.

Justice P Gopinath issued the directive while considering a petition filed by the company challenging a communication from the Ernakulam district labour officer asking it to maintain status quo on the proposed closure of Kerala operations and termination of workers.
