    The company came to an agreement with the workers who then called off their strike action and returned to work. Once back at work they discovered that the company had reneged on the deal so they walked out again. Company response? Brought in hired thugs (think Pilkerton style) who opened fire on them.

    I know where my sympathies lie.

    The Munya Times

    Maruti makes nearly half the cars sold in the country and is credited with revolutionizing transport in India by making affordable cars for a burgeoning middle class.

    This could have been achieved without crippling workers' lives by unnecessarily forcing them into cruel, inhuman, and killing working conditions.

    The mental and physical torture that these workers undergo, is totally unnecessary and doesn't improve productivity at all.

    Suzuki continues on cheating, humiliating, dispossessing his workers regardless of how much extra loss it costs them and everything that Suzuki does comes from a dark impulse.

    I sincerely hope the Indian workers will never give up and will erase this shameful, relentless sweat shop slavery that was brought by a foreign company into their very own country and which has no place in the 21st century.

    They shouldn't believe anything that Suzuki says not even when he is only asking a question.

    All my sympathies goes out to the Maruti workers.
