Monday was the tenth day of the stalemate that is ongoing between the Maruti management and its striking workers at the Manesar plant as the series of negotiations between the two parties has failed to yield any result despite hard efforts.

In context to same, the company management earlier made two critical points in the proposals, one that the union cannot be affiliated to any political party neither they can include any outsiders as their members and second was that the management's decision of terminating the 11 workers, who allegedly instigated the strike is strict and will not be changed.

Though many meetings have been held to resolve the issue including one between the representatives of workers, management, Haryana's Labour Minister Shiv Charan Sharma and Labour Commissioner Satvanti Ahlawat in Gurgaon that was held on Monday, but no results have been yielded till date.

Regarding the situation, V L Sachdeva, General Secretary, AITUC, said, "The management has retracted from what it had said earlier. They have objection to any second union being formed in the plant. We have no objection to their condition of non-alignment with any outside trade union, but they have not even accepted that." He has further warned management of going on a two-hour tool down strike tomorrow as a mark of solidarity as the stalemate was not nearing any end.
