Labour strike at Maruti's Manesar plant ends

The month long standoff between the management and workers of Maruti Suzuki India's Manesar plant ended on Saturday following talks brokered by the Haryana government.

In an agreement, the workers agreed to sign the contentious good conduct bond laid down by the management.

The company agreed to conditionally take back 18 trainees who were suspended.

But would not take back the 44 regular employees against whom disciplinary action was taken and that they would be under suspension.

"This reinforces the management's position that indiscipline is not acceptable. The agreement will create a conducive environment for the company's growth and the workers' prosperity," a company official said.

“Asked what action would be taken against the suspended employees, the official said Law will take its course."
