Over 1,000 workers turned violent at the Maruti-Suzuki car factory near Delhi, killing an HR manager and leaving 96 others injured. The company is now reopening the plant, but there is still uncertainty about why the violence broke out. “The picture emerging is that of a young impressionable workforce with an average age of only 25. It was vulnerable to outside influences from political and other groups wanting to create unrest. Neither the shop floor managers nor the trade union officials appear to have had sufficient experience to handle industrial relations crises.”
