by Haryananewswire (Balbir)
CHANDIGARH, OCT 1
With the persistent efforts of the Haryana government, the dispute between the labourers and management of the Manesar plant of Maruti- Suzuki India Limited was resolved , as a result the 33- day long workers strike finally came to an end around 3 a.m. today after hectic negotiations between the management and striking workers.
The agreement was made in the presence of Haryana Labour and Employment Minister Mr Shiv Charan Lal Sharma, Deputy Commissioner Mr P.C. Meena, Additional Labour Commissioner Mr Nitin Yadav, Deputy Labour Commissioner Mr J.P. Mann along with other officials of the Labour department.
          It was agreed that the workers would observe holiday on  October 1and would resume duty according to their shifts from October 3 after signing the ‘good conduct bond’ desired by the management. The holiday of  October  1 would be compensated by the workers by coming to work on any other holiday. Both the parties resolved that the management would revoke the termination orders of 15 workers issued between August  29 and September 15 and would convert these orders into suspension orders on  October 1 itself. In this matter, action as per law will be initiated against them after conducting a fair and impartial enquiry which would be acceptable to them. Similarly, it was decided that the 18 trainees who were shown the doors on August 29 and 30 after they supported the striking workers would be allowed to continue as trainees and their services would be resumed. Their orders would be withdrawn by the management on Saturday.
          As per the agreement, the 29 workers who were suspended during the period of  July 1 cand  September 17,  2011 will remain under suspension and they would be charge sheeted. Enquiry will be conducted against them and accordingly decision would be taken which would be acceptable to them. Abiding by the rule of ‘no work no pay’, the workers will not be paid for the period of strike from August 29,2011. In addition, their one day pay will be deducted as penalty.
 It was also decided that all the workers will observe discipline and would not try to obstruct the production either individually or in groups. The management will also not adopt vindictive attitude towards the workers. They resolved that if any dispute erupts between them in future, it will be solved through bilateral talks and they will not violate fundamental rights of each other. After this agreement, all issues will be deemed to be settled and no issue will remain pending.
 The agreement was signed by Mr LK Jain, Rajiv Gandhi, CS Raju, Anil Gaur, Avnish Dev and SG Mani on behalf of the management while nine representatives including Rishi pal, Sonu Kumar, Naveen Kumar, Shiv Kumar, Sumit Kumar, Arvind, Pawan Kumar, Kuldeep Janghu and Ishwar Singh signed on behalf of the striking workers.
