A Day after Maruti Suzuki sacked around 500 workers,  the Gurgaon-based Maruti Udyog Kamgar Union (Muku) demanded their reinstatement.



A day after Maruti Suzuki sacked about a third of the 1,528 permanent workers at its Manesar plant, the Gurgaon-based Maruti Udyog Kamgar Union (Muku) demanded their reinstatement. The demand was supported by about 30 other trade unions affiliated to the All India Trade Union Congress (Aituc) and the Centre of Indian Trade Unions based in the Gurgaon-Manesar belt.

“We have communicated to the management that a full inquiry should be conducted and the proper procedure followed before dismissing workers at Manesar. We have also filed a memorandum before the Haryana government, demanding the reinstatement of all sacked workers and the release of all innocent workers arrested in connection with the violence at Manesar,” said Kuldeep Jhangu, general secretary, MUKU. So far, the Haryana police has arrested 154 workers for the arson at the Manesar facility.

On Friday, about 5,000 workers from about 30 trade unions in the Gurgaon-Manesar belt held a protest rally against the dismissal of workers at Maruti Suzuki’s Manesar plant.
