The Maruti Suzuki Management is bent upon creating problems and start further attacks on the workers. The 33 days agitation was over only a few days back and normalcy was restored to a certain extent. But the management has once again violated the understanding by keeping out about 1500 contract workers whom the management has agreed to take back.
Since the contract workers were kept out of work, the entire regular workers from the 2nd shift onwards on 7th October struck work by walking out of the work place and sitting in the company premises. The workers in the nearby factories run by the Suzuki Motor Corporation also joined the strike. About 8000 workers are on strike to ensure that the contract workers are taken back to jobs. “We will continue our strike till the contract workers are taken back” stated the leaders of the union.
I fully appreciate and support the strike of the Maruti Suzuki workers who are fighting for the contract workers in their factory.
