Every payment and repartriation of money to a foreign country, earned by any entity especially multinationals are governed by Company Laws and Foreign Exchange laws in vogue. Quote:

You are wrong. Management projects as a part of the curriculum are done by students who are sent to work in companies. You seem to be totally unaware of facts. Academicians and management experts, who are engaged as management consultants during some impending trouble of any nature in an industry slog it out with the workers, labour unions and also the management. All the groups are thereafter brought together under one roof and the issues settled by threadbare discussions and negotiations. Quote:

As you were labelling Suzuki as the one at fault, I have cited companies by their names, where there is or was also lots of labour problems and these are located in the same belt. Quote:

Please do not go by beliefs and weird assumptions. The country has hundreds of news reporters who are on their jobs all the while. Any such news about "skimming the cream etc" by foreign companies which you and your some others believe in, would have made news headlines, forcing the multinationals to answer such allegations. There are no such news reports anywhere.These are unauthenticated and baseless assumptions.Our Company and Foreign Exchange laws are quite tough to deal with any such wrong doer. Quote:

I am not sure of the policies of your current org or in-depth details of Maruti Udyog's policies and procedures - however, there is a definitive reason for implementing a set schedule and a strong reasoning why employees are expected to adhere to it. I am not sure if you aware of capacity and headcount planning - it is done considering the required output in mind viz. available resources.
I have been working night shifts since last over 10 years of my career. I'd love the opportunity to spend my 10 hours during the day time - or whatever time suits me as long as it gets the job done.
There are very clear labor laws on over time defined by every state which I am sure the infamous worker union is well aware of, and needless to mention, there are legal complications attached to it - even in my org.
Somewhere above someone talked about workers dedicating their lives to the same org and not considering the better options available elsewhere - well, if they were so inclined on day one, where has all the commitment gone? Being an employee myself, I prefer aligning my goals to my organization's goals and keep the bigger picture in mind.
Similarly, Maruti would not have accepted such huge amount of bookings if they didn't expect their workers to work diligently and give the desired output. I am sure these workers have grown a lot professionally since the times of Maruti 800 - in the end, everyone wins - some monetarily and some professionally [experience].
It isn't exactly a cakewalk to run an org where employees threaten to go on a strike every now and then. If Maruti had to set an example by firing a few, it was right. Did you not read that quite a few workers actually signed the 'code of good conduct'? - what had gotten them? I am sure it couldn't have been the 'work is worship' proverb.
If they think going on a strike solves problems or sabotaging the quality does - it reflects sheer immaturity on their part. There are a lot of educated engineers out there waiting for companies like Maruti to hire them, lots. |
Thanks zzzeshar for your explanations.As I said, it is a two way problem both with the management and the labour unions down there. Quote:

I am sure MSIL will lose customers, if it on its own without any valid evidence or reason engages in such a self destructing, smear campaign about quality of its own products from Manesar.
And lastly not only MSIL but most companies in this belt engage contract workers. There are the Labour laws, Industrial Disputes Act and the Workmen s Compensation Act, which are again abided to, in such cases by the industries. All alleged unfair labour practices can be the subject matter of a law suit to restrain the wrong doers.
