In contrary to the company’s statements about the resumed work at the plant, Yadav said that operations at the plant have not begun. 8,000 workers from SPIL, Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt Ltd (SMIPL) including the Manesar and Gurgaon plants had called the strike on October 7th after they demanded on inducting the 1,100 contract workers and 44 suspended workers.
