The second shift production has been started at Manesar plant, claimed Maruti Suzuki India, though the negotiations to end the month long strike by the workers ended fruitlessly. The production of the second shift has asserted to be started in the second unit of Manesar plant of the company.

The management of Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) and the prominent leaders of Maruti Udyog Kamgar Union, registered body authorized for negotiate on behalf of the workers of MSI, failed to come on any conclusion in their negotiations to call back the strike due to non-agreement on the issue of resuming 62 workers suspended and dismissed by the management.

Sources quoted that the management of MSI had agreed to take back 18 workers but the rest has to face the action for their undisciplined activities and they were not agreed on taking back all the suspended workers.

The management of MSI had also refused to recognize the new body of worker’s union, Maruti Suzuki Employees Union to negotiate the suspension of 29 workers as well as dismissal of 33 workers from their factory. On the other hand CITU, a renowned worker’s union, had started its interference in this matter.

Satvir Singh, president of CITU, declared the proposal of the management to sign an agreement to enter the premises of the factory was wrong and demanded for the interference of the state government in resolving the prolonged matter.

Maruti Suzuki India had declared the company had started the production of A-Star and also planning to start the production of other model such as SX4 in their Manesar plant very soon.
The condition of stalemate is prevailing since August 29 this year among the MSI and its worker when former banned the entry of its workers into the factory due damage and malpractice in the production quality. Company demanded to sign a bond for good conduct to permit the workers to admit on duty which was refused by the worker’s unions.
