In the backdrop of the 14-day-long strike at Maruti Suzuki India that ended on Friday, the Haryana Government said it would work on developing a mechanism through which labour problems in a factory could be nipped in the bud.
“We will work on how the problem of a worker in a particular factory can be resolved as and when it emerges so that a full-blown labour unrest is prevented in the future,” Haryana Labour and Employment Minister, mr Shiv Charan Lal Sharma, said.
He said the State Government will make efforts to ensure that no strike takes place in any factory in future. “We are thinking what more could be done to prevent strike in any factory in Haryana,” he said.
Frequent strikes
His comments assume significance as frequent strikes, such as in Maruti, had threatened to hit industrial activities in the State. Industry experts had even pointed out that the strikes could discourage future foreign investment in Haryana.
Questions were also raised on whether Haryana could protect its tag of a ‘preferred investment destination', which led to it receiving the highest per capita industrial investment in the country in 2007 as per the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy.
The automobile manufacturing sector is Haryana's primary strength and the presence of Maruti Suzuki, Hero MotoCorp, Honda Motors and Escorts has led to a large number of ancillaries in the State.
