Maruti Workers’ Movement: Resisting Exploitation And Defending Democracy

The workers’ struggle at the Maruti Suzuki’s Manesar plant has, once again, exposed the ugly and exploitative underbelly of liberalised ‘growth’.

It is…See More

Of course I can. Please let me know what you want to know and what I can do. It is my most pleasure to build solidarity for the workers. I'm working in a bank union, but I'm also the international coordinator for a electronics union in Taiwan.

Wow, your page looks so nice!  I am still having trouble to get around and where to post etc etc on union book...

Also, Thank you for the posts.  what are the comrades at Pyung hwa in India making?

By now you have heard that the subcontracted workers in Hyundai Ulsan Plant-factory have ended the sit-in and negotiations are continuing...

 

Many of the hyundai and kia workers in other areas of the world sent solidarity messages to the subcontracted workers.  They will start work on Monday, and we have to be careful that nothing bad happens .... (I'm sure the company would be only too happy to incite something against the workers who led the strike)

The IUF is composed of 386 affiliated organizations in 124 countries representing a combined membership of around 2,6 million.

yours in solidarity,
Burcu
