Janghu confirmed the event and said the union is conducting talks with the management to find a solution. He added, “I was just doing my job as a union functionary. The manager had misbehaved.”
A Maruti spokesperson also confirmed the event and said disciplinary proceedings are being held, ET Auto.com reported.
“We will not accept it lying down. If this matter is not resolved soon, anything is possible,” Janghu said.
Suzuki’s Indian operations are strategically important to the company, but have a history of turbulent labour relations and damaging disputes.
