People’s Union for Democratic Rights

A civil liberties and democratic rights organisation based in Delhi, India

PUDR received the information of widespread harassment of workers at the Maruti Udyog Limited (MUL) factory in Gurgaon, and sent a fact-finding team to investigate. The team met scores of workers, representatives of the management and did find evidence of systematic harassment, which is presented in this report. This harassment was linked to a four to five month long agitation which the workers had conducted a short time earlier. The PUDR found that the story of this agitation, the attitude of the management, the government and the Courts point to significant lacunae in our democratic institutions regarding workers rights, lacunae which are becoming bigger and bigger every day. We have therefore also chronicled this earlier agitation by the workers.
