 Causes
Since April 2012, the Manesar union had demanded a
three-fold increase in basic salary, a monthly conveyance
allowance of 10,000, a laundry allowance of 3,000, a gift
with every new car launch.

As well as a house for every worker who wants one or

cheaper home loans for those who want to build their own
houses.

 Causes:
Workers claimed about harsh working conditions.

are paid about Rs.7500 per month, about half the
minimum wage of permanent employees.

Differences in salary pay and no incentives for hard

work.

Supervisor had abused and made discriminatory

comments to a low-caste worker who was suspended.

Contract Labour System:
Companies hire temporary and contract workers not only
because they are cheaper, but because they can be laid off
when they are not required

Actually the problems lies with personnel Managers &

HRD managers

These personnel managers are like Indian politicians, they

want money but nobody else should get it

These people take hefty salaries

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maruti_Suzuki
 Solution
Hiring contract workers through company HR and not
through a contractor.

Fresh recruitment of permanent workers.

Terminate the services of 500 permanent workers.(Involved

in Violence)

Haryana Government supported the company and declared

it as illegal strike.

Reopened the plant with 300 workers.

 What could be done in order to
avoid the event?
Employee Labour Relationship should had been
maintained in manners

Flexibility is the key, not the cheapness

Treat workers in the factory like humans

The workers should refrain from taking law into their

own hands
 Present scenario
The Manesar plant achieved the 25 lakh production
milestone in September 2014.
The plant manufactures some of the top selling models like
Swift, Dzire.
Spread over 600 acres, the Manesar facility houses three
units, Manesar A, B and C with total annual capacity of

successfully implemented several ideas from the employees
on the important production pillars of productivity, cost,
quality and safety."
