The Haryana government-brokered negotiations between Maruti Suzuki India management and its workers to end the standoff at MSIs Manesar plant failed today. Haryana Minister for Labour and Employment Shiv Charan Lal Sharma held talks with the companys management and workers of the Manesar plant along with representatives of MSIs recognised union Maruti Udyog Kamgar Union (MUKU) through the day but an agreement proved elusive. The workers were apologetic about the production loss that MSI has suffered and also about yesterdays violent incident,but they are insisting that the dismissed and suspended colleagues must be taken back, Sharma said.
