    Case Introduction
     On July 25, 2005, the management of the Honda Motorcycle & Scooter
    India (Private) Limited, (HMSI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Honda
    Motor Company Limited (HMCL), encountered violent protests from
    workers that disrupted production at their plant in Gurgaon. 

     HMSI workers were severely beaten up by the police, and newspapers


    and TV channels gave wide coverage to the violence of the action.

     The protest followed six months of simmering labor unrest at the HMSI
    factory in which the workers also resorted to job slowdown (since
    December 2004 when the workers' demand for an increase in wages
    was rejected by the HMSI management).
    The Cause of the Conflict

     The conflict began in December 2004 after a manager allegedly hit a worker, who was said to be
    engaged in organizing a union within the plant

     The main demands placed were wage hike, job regularization, extra casual leave and medical
    benefits at par with the permanent workers.

     Another four workers were sacked after they expressed their solidarity with their workmate. The
    official justification for the dismissals was "undisciplined behavior in the factory”.

     The whole situation came to boiling point when the management sacked another 57 workers and
    nearly all the workers in the factory reacted by going on strike in June 2005.

     At the end of June 2005 the management replied by officially sacking 1,000 workers and locking
    out the strikers.
    ISSUES INVOLVED
