The Maruti-Suzuki workers of the Manesar plant are on agitation since 2011 against sheer exploitation of the workers in the name of contract worker system and for trade union rights.During the struggle, a fire was broke out and a manager was killed. Thereupon the powerful management in connivance with the Haryana government let loose a rein of terror. Hundreds of workers,including the union leaders, were arrested and brutally assaulted by the police. They were jailed without any bail for years. Now, the sessions court has convicted 13 workers for life imprisonment and another four for 5 years imprisonment, even without a shred of evidence.

The workers are continuing their struggle and a day of Solidarity was observed throughout the country on 5th April,2017, called by all the central trade unions. They have to give financial assistance to the families of the jailed workers and also continue the legal battle, by filing appeal against the unjust and cruel verdict of the sessions court. 

Considering the plight of these workers for years, AIBDPA decided to help them at this time of distress. Accordingly, an amount of Rs. 10,000 was donated to Maruti Suzuki Workers Union on 03-04-2017.
