<\/span>Abstract<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The labor unrest at the Maruti Suzuki Manesar plant in Haryana in 2012 became a major industrial relations event in India. The dispute involved workers, management, trade union representation, disciplinary issues, working conditions, and the method of dealing with collective demands. The situation became extremely serious on 18 July 2012 when violence took place at the plant and a company manager, Awanish Kumar Dev, died. The plant was then closed for a period, and a large number of workers faced dismissal, arrest, or other proceedings. The incident attracted national attention and raised questions about the health of industrial relations in modern manufacturing workplaces.<\/p>
