Following last months’ jailing of 13 Maruti Suzuki workers for life sentences, workers in India and internationally have continued their campaign to free them and to assert the right to organise and form independent unions. April 4 & 5 were designated as days of action in support for the imprisoned workers. Actions were taken by thousands of workers in the industrial zones of Gurgaon and Manesar in India. This struggle has now been taken up by workers all around India. Internationally, labour activists have taken action, while the International Automobile Workers Co-ordination group will campaign at a global level.
