Sounds like a Bollywood classic in the making. Rajiv, the hard working & industrious line worker falls for Rahna the company owners beautiful daughter. Cue the dance scene with assembly robots as backup dancers.

Maruti workers were forced, deceived and tricked into signing the pact, little wonder they were unable to keep it one sided when they realized that Suzuki was using this agreement to strengthen their unfair treatment of workers. It seem Maruti workers want nothing else then fair treatment, the end of slavery and the end of unscrupulous exploitation from MSI.

Their action is not for getting rich, robbing Suzuki or advancing at the expenses of their employer, their fight is for their and their coo-workers life.

Now as I foresaw in my previous post, Suzuki is attempting to push the government into deploying police squads to physically disable Indian workers. I don't think workers can be accused with violence in circumstances where Suzuki opened the doors of rude violence at the first place. The Indian workers' actions are nothing more than self defense

Also, very important to mention that workers have their basic right that is so limited that Suzuki should have no problem accepting it, and it was Suzuki at the firs place who was reluctant to respect their very own dictated agreement on their side and violated it immediately as the workers returned to work.

it's really strange, Suzuki has been in India for so many years...they must have known indian labor (skilled and unskilled) also politics and local culture as well. Why flexing muscles against poor workers now? May be Suzuki wants to return home and help their own country in her reconstruction efforts or they want to move to a cheaper neighboring country say Sri Lanka, Bangladesh or Pakistan?
