Independent researcher Sourindra Ghosh writes on the Maruti-Suzuki labour incidents -  "Unfortunately, this is the industrialization model of India – which at any cost opposes the constitutionally granted workers’ right to unionise, uses any opportunity to break and de-recognise trade unions, and imposes un-constitutional conditions like in this case by MSIL that MSWU will not be affiliated to any Central Trade Union. It is the duty of the State and the Government to see that the law of the land is followed and protected. In this case, the first step in that direction would be to set-up a free and independent inquiry to look into the matter. "

The workers of the Maruti Suzuki India Limited's (MSIL) plant in Haryana's Manesar have been agitating since August-end against the dismissal and suspension of more than 60 of their colleagues and the management's insistence on their signing a ‘good conduct bond' before they are allowed to enter the plant. The MSIL management's obdurate refusal to recognise the MSEU lies at the heart of the dispute.
