Gurgaon : Several national-level trade union leaders along with former Team Anna members Friday demanded the cancellation of termination orders of sacked Maruti workers and an end to the four month-long lockout at Eastern Medikit here, a union leader said.
Trade unions of different political hues including the Centre of Trade Unions, Indian National Trade Union Congress and Hind Mazdoor Sabha held a rally here. Former team Anna members Prashant Bhushan and Sanjay Singh also addressed the gathering.
Union leaders and speakers extended their support to 546 terminated permanent employees and nearly 1,900 contract labourers. They also demanded the end of the unofficial lockout at Eastern Medikit’s four plants at Udyog Vihar here. More than 1,200 permanent and 600 casual workers are protesting for their jobs and salaries.
The union leaders said that injustice was being done to Maruti workers at the Manesar Plant and Eastern Medikit employees.
They demanded a judicial inquiry led by a sitting or retired judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court or a CBI probe into the July 18 incident.
The July 18 incident at Maruti’s Manesar plant had left a senior executive dead and nearly 100 people injured.
