Maruti announces indefinite lockout, will stay in Manesar |
Maruti Suzuki on Saturday
announced indefinite lockout of its Manesar plant, while trashing speculations
of moving out of the Haryana town. Addressing a press conference here, Maruti
Chairman R.C. Bhargava said the production at its Manesar plant will not resume
till the causes of Wednesday's violence are fully investigated. “There is indefinite
lockout at the Manesar plant. We are not in a position to start production at
the factory. Safety of colleagues is more important than making some cars, making
some money,” Bhargava said. He said the management had settled all issues with
the workers’ unions after the last strike, nine months ago. Further, he denied
any plans of shifting the plant out of Manesar. “This thought of us moving out
of here is complete fiction,” he said. Calling the violence at its Manesar plant
“shattering”, Bhargava said the automobile major was doing its best to tackle
the mess. “What happened was a shattering incident. We are tackling the mess,”
he said. R.C. Bhargava said that the company never imagined its own workers would
indulge in violence. “There was no victimization of workers at the unit. Problems
can be sorted out if there is goodwill at both sides. There should be communication
from both sides. We have always been ready to communicate with the workers,” he
clarified. When asked whether Maruti would disband the Union , he said, “We have
not disbanded any union. We are not in a position to disband any union. This issue
is not even under consideration at this point.”
