Last week, one of the remaining workers still in jail following the repression of the Maruti Suzuki workers struggle in 2012, was released on bail. Of the original 148 workers that were arrested, 35 still remain in jail. The campaign by the Maruti Suzuki workers was a watershed struggle for workers in the Gurgaon industrial belt around New Delhi. Unfortunately, their fight was defeated under heavy repression from the company and the government (see here and here). A new film by Rahul Roy, titled The Factory, provides an insights into these workers’ lives and the ongoing fight for justice.
