Automobile Components Corporate - Trade & Labour Unions Gurgaon-Manesar auto belt heading towards labour unrest again Roudra Bhattacharya New Delhi, Nov. 4 The Gurgaon-Manesar auto belt may be heading for another bout of unrest as labour unions threaten to strike work across the belt on Friday. The unions have called the strike due to a deadlock in the negotiations at Rico Auto. The main demand of the workers remains the reinstatement of all of the 16 workers that the company had suspended in late September. According to a spokesperson for the striking workers, the company has agreed to take back only nine of the 16 workers. Said Mr D.L. Sachdev, National Secretary, All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), “The unions have decided that if there is no decision by Thursday evening, they will go on strike. This issue is not only limited to Rico, but Sunbeam as well.” He added that the company should consider lighter punishment for the seven remaining workers, if found guilty after enquiry. Among other issues, workers are demanding that the company withdraw the cases filed against the workers, besides recognising their union. Rico Auto management was not available for comment. However, according to sources, a meeting has been scheduled between the workers and the management on Thursday to try and work out an amicable solution. The negotiations between the company officials and striking workers, along with Government officials as mediators, have been going on for weeks now, but no concrete decision has yet been arrived at. The unrest at the auto belt, which affected auto component manufacturers such as Sunbeam Auto and Microtek, had begun around September 21 over various issues such as recognition of union and revision of wages. Since these component manufacturers supply critical parts to automakers Maruti Suzuki, General Motors and Ford, among others, these companies are now facing a shortage which is translating into lower production of the vehicles.
