Labour standoff worsens at Maruti Suzuki, plants shut
Sources said strike in Suzuki Powertrain will disrupt the productions in Maruti as it annually produces 300,000 diesel engines.

THE STANDOFF between the striking workers and Maruti Suzuki management became worse after another subsidiary of the company Suzuki Powertrain also witnessed labour unrest. Workers of Suzuki Powertrain also joined the stir and supported the cause of their Manesar counterparts, thus forcing the company to close its plants at Manesar and Gurgaon.


On Thursday, the workers also resorted to violent protests and the situation was threatening to get out of hand. The workers are opposing the 'Good Conduct Bond' being demanded by the company and have refused to sign it. While Maruti was trying to make up production losses by employing temporary workers, the decision of Suzuki Powertrain employees to join the strike will lead to disruption in supply of important components that include diesel engines and transmissions for petrol cars.

Sources said strike in Suzuki Powertrain will disrupt the production in Maruti as it annualy produces 300,000 diesel engines. In case, the workers continue their stir, it is likely that the company will face more trouble and this could also lead to losses in the near future. It is after almost seven years, that the Gurgaon factory of Maruti will remain shut due to labour issues. Meanwhile, the company management is trying to resolve the labour issues at Suzuki Powertrain to ensure that the production resumes on Monday. On Thursday, three company supervisors were injured, during a violent tiff with the workers.
