    The Maruti fiasco was caused by the toxic work environment at the Manesar plant, including harsh working hours, low pay with differences in pay between workers, and a lack of incentive or pay increases despite increased production. Tensions rose due to poor communication between management and workers, discriminatory salary rules, and a lack of coordination among managers. Ultimately, violence erupted after a remark by management and the suspension of a worker in response.

    Maruti Case

    Group 6:
    Shrutika | Mrinmayee | Saurabh | Vishal| Taher
    Q1. Who is primarily responsible for the Maruti fiasco?

    The immediate cause of the grave violence at Manesar plant of Maruti was the remark passed by
    a member of the management and a worker, Jiya Lal and the worker’s subsequent suspension.
    But the main reasons for the violence was the toxic work environment faced by the employees.
    The major reasons were the harsh working hours, low pay and differences in pay, no incentive to
    work hard and the production capacity had gone up despite no changes in the salaries . These
    conditions occurred due to lack of communication between HR and workers, rules leading t o
    discrimination in salary and no coordination among managers.
    Q2. Critically examine the role of various actors of industrial relations and how
    successf ully they have carried out the same.

    a. Government:
    A government plays an important role in industrial relations by implementing effective labour
    policies and laws and acts as a mediator.
    The State government, in this case, tried to reach a common ground between both parties but its
    impact was never significant. Also, the government declared the strike as illegal and deployed
    police personnel in the factory.

    b. Management
    Management's only concern was profit and not the welfare of its employees. It also argued
    that workers are putting up reasonable demands and have are not disciplined.
    c. Workers and Trade Unions
    The plant workers wanted to register a new union-the Maruti Suzuki Employees Union (
    MSEU)- and had already applied for registration. The management was not in favour of this and
    had fired 11 employees.
    Their demands were :
    1. A four-fold increase in basic salary
    2. A monthly allowance for the conveyance of 10,000
    3. A laundry allowance of 3,000
    4. A gift with every new car launch, and a house for every worker who wants one or more cheaper
    home loans for those who want to build their own houses.
    5. In addition to this compensation and normal weekend, the union demanded the current four
    paid weeks of vacation be increased to 7 weeks.
    Q3 What are the violations of law noticed in the entire episode?

    ● Murder of the general manager Awanish Dev


    ● Violent charge by the workers on the management
    ● If considered the current law, differential payment and benefits to contract and permanent
    workers
    ● No appropriate intervals for lunch and tea
    ● Torture by management by threatening the workers about firing
    ● Signing of the Good contract bond
    ● Casteist remarks by the manager
