4th anniversary of Honda attack Sonika Bhatia Tribune News Service
Gurgaon, July 25 The rally took place outside the Mini Secretariat building, which was close to the very spot where exactly four years ago, the police beat up workers in a brutal manner. The roads leading to the venue were decorated with festoons and union banners. Workers of Honda Motors and Scooters (HMSC) marched to the venue in a procession through the streets of the city. They were joined by workers from companies such as Hero Honda, Ameera Foods, Liberty, Roadways, Mosahsi, Auto Max, Classic Golf ITC, Milk Falcon and many others. The workers celebrated their unity and resolve to fight against the capitalists and the government for their rights. Besides representatives of the factory workers who had marched to the venue, the rally was also addressed by Surinder Malik, Haryana state president, Centre of Indian Trade Union. Four years ago, police forces mercilessly beat up hundreds of Honda Scooter workers, who had been called there to submit a memorandum to the authorities. For several months before that, the workers had been ill-treated by company officials. When their colleagues were unfairly dismissed, over 3,000 workers held a rally at city-based Kamla Nehru Park on July 25, 2005. They were called by the government officials for discussions and were packed into an enclosed area with just one exit. The encircled workers were then beaten up by the police. The rally was organised today by the trade union council to demand the dropping of false criminal cases against the workers. They also demanded that the practice of contract labour should be ended forthwith and minimum wages should be paid to all workers. The union also gave a memorandum to the authorities.
