More labour trouble loomed for India's top carmaker Maruti as workers said Tuesday they would back demands for the reinstatement of employees who were fired after a deadly riot in July. The worker's body representing employees at the Manesar plant, near New Delhi, where the riot took place said they would support a planned two-day hunger strike by dismissed colleagues who want their jobs returned.
"We will not take part in the hunger strike on Wednesday and Thursday but we support the protesters," Maruti Udyog Kamgar Union general secretary Kuldeep Janghu told AFP.
The company said it had already rejected the demands for reinstatement by the dismissed workers who are accused of chasing supervisors at the plant with iron rods in the unrest that left a personnel manager dead and injured close to 100 other executives.
