8. What Went Wrong……………………….?????????????????
1. Workers are not commodities.
2. Trust and Confidence between “White and Blue
collars”.
3. Strike is ethical, whereas deliberately creating faults
in Products is not
4. Politics has no place in unions.
5. No unnecessary comment in Media.
6. Lure of Contract Labor.
(www.icmrindia.org/casestudies/catalogue/.../HROB160)
9. Labor Law……….
• A minimum time rate of wages.
• Non-discrimination of people at work place.
• Local Hiring.

10. Labor laws tweaked by Maruti……….
• Enforcement of labor law was not followed
strictly.
• Labor laws need to be followed but only on
humanitarian grounds.
• Differences in salary pay.
• Working conditions.
11. Our Solutions………..
1. Good conduct bond should have acceptable
conditions.
2. Monthly meetings should held between
management and workers.
3. Recruiting company should give preliminary
idea before recruiting them.
4. Demand of new union can be fulfilled only if
the Union is not politically influenced.
