All those shiny Suzuki cars are not quite that shiny, they are stained with the sweat, hardship and poverty of thousands of ordinary people. Like all corporate bodies, Suzuki is ruthless in its quest for increased profit. If that means crushing any attempt by the workers to organise for better conditions, and intimidation backed up by the state, then that's OK in their rule book.
This is an appeal from Labour Start for solidarity in support of the workers' struggle at Suzuki.
Workers at the Maruti Suzuki auto factory in India have decided to escalate their ongoing struggle for justice by launching an indefinite sit-in demonstration and hunger strike starting on 18 July.
The are protesting the continued jailing (for a full year) of 147 workers, the arrest warrants targeting 66 more, and the sacking of 2,300 workers by the company.
The workers have asked for our help to send messages of protest to India. It will take you just a few seconds to send off your message. Please click here to do so.
Thank you -- and please spread the word.
