New Delhi: Talks between Maruti Suzuki management and workers at the Manesar plant broke down on yet again on Sunday. The talks were being brokered by the Haryana government after three workers were detained.
The standoff began three weeks ago after workers refused to to sign a 'good conduct' bond following allegations of sabotage.
"Negotiations have broken down and we don't know when will it take place again," Maruti Udyog Kamgar Union (MUKU) President Kuldeep Janghu said.
MUKU had represented the Manesar plant workers during the negotiations as the management refused to talk directly to the rebel union, Maruti Suzuki Employees Union (MSEU).The three detained workers are office bearers of MSEU.
Haryana Minister for Labour and Employment Shiv Charan Lal Sharma held talks with the company's management and workers of the Manesar plant - along with representatives of MSI's recognised union Maruti Udyog Kamgar Union (MUKU) - on
Friday and Saturday but a result proved elusive.
In support of their colleagues at MSI's Manesar plant, workers at three factories operated by two of Japan's Suzuki Motor Corp's subsidiaries located in the Gurgaon-Manesar industrial belt Suzuki Powertrain India Ltd and Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt Ltd went on strike on Wednesday afternoon but was called off on Friday.
The bond requires the workers to declare they would "not resort to go slow, intermittent stoppage of work, stay-in-strike, work-to-rule, sabotage or otherwise indulge in any activity, which would hamper normal production in the factory".
