Maruti’s Manesar plant strike enters into day ten

13 Jun 2011 Evaluate

Country's largest car maker Maruti Suzuki India's (MSI) Manesar plant workers strike entered tenth day and facility continues to be completely shut down. Though talks are going on, the production at the plant is stopped. The company had sacked 11 employees at the plant for allegedly inciting others to strike work.

Since June 04, around 2,000 workers at the plant have been on strike, resulting in a loss of about Rs 390 crore for the company on account of a 7,800-unit hit in output till Saturday. The striking workers are also demanding the recognition of a new union -- Maruti Suzuki Employees Union -- formed by those working at the Manesar plant, among other things.

The company is willing to recognise the new union but the workers are willing to end the stir provided all 11 of their sacked colleagues are reinstated. Meanwhile, unions of various firms in the Gurgaon-Manesar industrial belt, who have been supporting their colleagues at the Maruti facility, will hold public meetings at the gates of 60-65 factories today to raise awareness among workers in the region about the issues at the car-maker's plant.

The All-India Trade Union Congress, which is leading the agitation along with other unions such as the Centre of Indian Trade Unions, stated that workers in the region will hold a two-hour tool-down strike tomorrow in support of the strike.
