MSWU Workers Resistance

The Maruti Suzuki Workers Union, the trade union of Maruti Suzuki's Manesar factory, has been fighting against the injustices laborers are facing for nearly a decade. This started off from merely campaigning for the formation of the trade union, which was faced with strong resistance from the company and the Indian labor union,. They denied the shameful working conditions, horrible working hours, and frequent taunting by the managers that was present in the workplace. Eventually, after great support from university students and local unions was garnered, the union was approved.
