The new body -- Maruti Suzuki Workers' Union -- has received its registration number from the Haryana Labour Department this week and the company has also decided to recognise it for any future negotiations at the plant.
MSWU, which was formed after the office-bearers of the erstwhile Maruti Suzuki Employees' Union had left the firm after taking a severance package of minimum Rs 16 lakh (Rs 1.6 million) each, will now be led under Ram Mehar Singh as President and Sarabjeet Singh as General Secretary.
"As we have got our registration number, now we will officially start our function from tomorrow. We are going to discuss all issues related to the plant and as a first step, we will put forward our demands within next 15 days regarding wage revision, which is likely to take place next month," Sarabjeet Singh told PTI.
He, however, declined to share details such as how much hike the union will ask from the management saying this will be discussed in due course of time.
The newly-formed union is independent and it is completely non-affiliated to any political trade union,
