Dear Comrade
As you know, since 18th July 2012 in
the Maruti factory in Manesar-Haryana-India, as per the nexus
of management-police-administration-government, we have had to
face the heavy hand of injustice and repression, which
continues to this day. 215 of our fellow workers have baseless
fabricated cases on them, 147 workers have been jailed, 2300
workers have had their jobs terminated including 546 permanent
workers. Today, more than three years later, 36 workers
continue to languish in jail without bail. The trial is almost
over and the final argument on the matter is approaching. Now it
is taking some time as the Maruti management is not providing
many evidences to the workers’ counsel. Though there are no
substantial evidence of murder and attempt to murder against
the accused workers, the company management and state are in
full preparation to set an example by handing the harshest
sentence on workers, so that workers fear to raise their voices
in struggle.
In this context, demanding justice for
the Maruti workers in jail for last three and half years, the
provisional committee, Maruti Suzuki Workers Union successfully
organized a “Mazdoor Nyay Adhikar Convention” on 27
November 2015 from 10 am to 6 pm at the HUDA ground, Sector 5,
Gurgaon, Haryana. The convention was attended by large number
of workers, unions, organizations and individuals who joined the
convention from different parts of the country in solidarity
with the struggle. Representatives from many workers unions and
progressive organizations took part in the convention in a
spirited way. In spite of their duty, many Maruti workers from
Gurgaon and Manesar plant participated in the program. Unions
and workers organizations like Maruti Udyog Kamgar Union,

resolution demanding release of jailed Maruti workers,
reinstatement of terminated workers, withdrawal of all false
cases against the Maruti workers, and resolved to intensify the
struggle for justice for all those workers who are dismissed or
are in jail as a consequence of workers movement. The Convention
also resolved to strengthen the struggle to defeat the conspiracy
of the company-government-judiciary to scuttle the workers movement
by punishing the Maruti workers and run a comprehensive campaign
for the justice for Maruti workers.

Comrade, it is the need of the hour
that we stand united in our struggle to defeat all attempts by
the ruling class and their stooges to weaken the workers
movement by punishing Maruti workers. We should also raise our
voice for all workers who are dismissed or are in jail because
of their struggle in different parts of the country. We urge you
to support the struggle in all possible manner.
Long live the unity and struggle of
working class!
Inquilab Zindabaad!
