Jamshedpur: The by-election process for three vacant positions in the Tata Motors Workers’ Union gained momentum on Monday as five candidates collected nomination forms. While the Axle Division seats appear headed for an unopposed victory, the ERC division is bracing for a competitive three-way race.
