Business Line : Today's Paper / OPINION : MNCs can't wish unions away

Here is an article on the condition of forming trade union's vis a vis the pushback from the MNC's operating in India. The authors have themselves confirmed that the right to association is imbedded in the Constitutional right of every citizen.

Here's another item from Tehelka which brings to light 'some' of the inhuman, unethical and illegal practices that the Maruti management is carrying out to destroy unionisation in it's Manesar plant.

Maruti Manesar Worker's Struggle to create a separate Union

The Maruti worker's in the Manesar plant have been demanding their legitimate right to form a separate union of their own as they feel that they are not properly represented in the current set-up. However, the Maruti management has been rociferously denying them this right and using all kinds of unethical methods to disintegrate their claim. The state administration also seem to have completely sided with the management.

To make it really inhuman and degrading for the worker's, the management recently passed an edict to all the worker's to sign a bond of 'good conduct' failing to adhere to which they were threathened with termination.
