Strike at India's top carmaker ends after 13 days

2011-06-17 11:47:02 GMT+7 (ICT)

NEW DELHI (BNO NEWS) -- The 13-day strike at India's largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki in the northern state of Haryana was called off on late Thursday night after an agreement was reached between the workers and the company's management, the Press Trust of India reported on Friday.

As part of the deal brokered by Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, the company will reinstate all the sacked 11 workers and will reduce the no-work-no-pay rule of eight day's salary cut for every single day of the strike to three days.

"An agreement has been signed and workers have decided to call off the strike. They will resume work from tomorrow", Haryana Labour Secretary Sarban Singh said, as cited in the report.

The workers agreed that they will not press for the management's recognition for a new union. The company, which has one workers' union, fired 11 workers last week for allegedly inciting others to go on strike.


A company spokesperson said only about 600 people were on strike, but the union's General Secretary Shiv Kumar claimed that at
 least 2,000 workers were on the sit-in stir at the plant.

The Manesar plant rolls out about 1,200 units every day in two shifts.
