Toughening its stance against the ongoing employees’ strike at Maruti Suzuki’s Manesar plant, the Haryana Government today imposed a ban on the strike by passing prohibitory orders.
The State Government has passed orders prohibiting the continuance of the strike at the industrial unit, the Haryana Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr Shiv Charan Lal Sharma, said in a statement issued here today.
The Government has also referred the matter of the employees’ strike to the local labour court under the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, he said.
The strike at the Maruti Suzuki’s Manesar plant entered its seventh day today.
Around 2,000 workers at the plant have been on strike since Saturday, resulting in a production loss of about 5,400 units till yesterday. The value of the loss is estimated to be around Rs 270 crore.
The Manesar plant rolls out about 1,200 units every day in two shifts. The factory produces hatchbacks Swift and A-Star and sedans DZiRE and SX4.
