Around 500 medical representatives, who were earlier employed with Ranbaxy and now in Sun Pharmaceutical, are planning a pan-India strike on September 26, to protest the non-payment of salaries and other issues such as “arbitrary transfers”.
In April 2014, Sun Pharma announced a $3.2-billion deal to acquire Ranbaxy, and the transaction was concluded last year. The employees have held several agitations across cities against the Sun Pharma management over the past few months.
