"Manesar: Tussle at Honda Reaches Court, Management Wants Workers Evicted", 18 November 2019

...After failing to get to a consensus with the striking workers, the Honda management has moved the district civil court seeking a stay order on the strike...

...the management wants the workers to be evicted from the Manesar facility, in addition to which, the management has also asked for further police protection.

...Currently, well over 1,500 of [the protesters] are sitting on a dharna inside the plant, NewsClick has learnt. Their demands include fair compensation to the retrenched workers and regularisation of all who have been working for more than 10 years.

The management, in its suit, has named 16 workers, which, according to the union, is “witch-hunting” of the workers leading the strike.

"Instead of reaching an agreement, the management has moved court to generate fear among the striking workers,” said Suresh Gaur, president of HMSI Employees’ Union...

...Honda’s company secretary Sanjeev Kumar Chaubey and Manesar division head of general affairs, Naveen Sharma...both declined to comment on the issue.
