High Court refuses to declare Maruti Suzuki's Manesar plant strike illegal

-The Economic Times

 

A high court on Thursday directed the protesting employees of Maruti Suzuki's Manesar plants to leave the factory premises but refused to declare the strike illegal. The order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court follows a petition filed by the country's largest carmaker whose Manesar plants have been seized by striking workers after weeks of unrest.

The court said no protest activity could take place within 100 metres of the Manesar plants. It also asked the police in adjacent Gurgaon, where Maruti has three more plants, to ensure the safety of all Maruti employees. The Haryana administration deployed more police at the Manesar plants later in the evening, raising the possibility of the striking workers being evicted forcefully.

Maruti had signed an agreement on October 1 to end a month-long workers' strike at its Manesar plant over a "good conduct bond", but faced another on October 7 over reinstatement of 1,100 contract workers. The plant has been shut since then.

The Haryana government on Wednesday declared the strike illegal for violation of the October 1 agreement. The strikes this year, including one in June, have cost Maruti Rs 1,643 crore and a production loss of 54,775 units. The carmaker has been seeking legal intervention as the strike has spread to its subsidiaries in the vicinity. Workers at Suzuki Powertrain India Ltd (SPIL), which supplies engines and transmission, and Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt Ltd are on strike since October 7 in support of their Manesar colleagues.
