In this resolution, the ITUC-AP expresses concern at the continuing industrial struggle in the Maruti Suzuki, Manesar plant in India and no serious attempt by the management and authorities to resolve the issue. Furthermore, their serious concern that over 150 workers are still in jail on serious criminal charges -- including those who were not present in the factory premises when the violent incident occurred. The council condemns this gross denial of workers’ rights, as well as the company’s refusal to give recognition of the workers’ union and to enter into collective bargaining in the Manesar plant.
With this the Council expresses solidarity with the affected workers, and demands: the immediate release of imprisoned workers; the recognition of the democratically established union in the Manesar plant; the intervention of state and central governments; the management to initiate meaningful discussions with the union institution of a judicial investigation into the incident; and the stop of contractualization.
