Click to play videoNew Delhi: The resolution between workers and the management at Maruti Suzuki India's Manesar plant seems to be short-lived as production has stopped at the Manesar unit. Production had been closed at the Maruti plant and at Suzuki subsidiaries Suzuki PowerTrain, Suzuki Motorcyle and Suzuki Casting after 1500 Maruti workers staged a stay-in strike.
This is the third such strike at the plant since June. The workers are demanding the reinstatement of 44 workers who were suspended during the last strike. The company says its not in a position to reinstate them.
On Sunday, Maruti had cracked the whip by sacking 15 workers and suspending 10 employees for allegedly attacking co-workers, supervisors and executives and violating the good conduct agreement.
In a statement, the company said the strike by the workers an the violence thereafter violated the agreement signed by the workers with the company management on October 1 in the presence of the Haryana government officials.
"The company has dismissed 10 employees, suspended 10 others and terminated the training of five trainees in connection with the strike and violence at the Manesar factory premises," the statement said.
MSI said it continues to be concerned about the safety of people as well as the plant and machinery and on Sunday the company 'rescued' another 100 workers who were being 'held under duress' by the striking workers in the factory.
"These 100 workers were rescued with the help of police. Yesterday, the company had similarly rescued 355 workers with the help of the police. Many of these workers had been beaten up by the striking workers," it claimed.
