Organising in the Indian Automobile Industry

Monday, 17 October 2016 - 8:30am to 9:00am

Today on Women on the Line, we look at a dispute at Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India factory in the North Indian State of Rajastan. The workers there have been on a hunger strike for over 3 weeks now following their dismissal over a campaign to try to form a union.

Shivani Kaur discusses the issues specific to this dispute, strategies that work, and strategies that don't work to win industrial disputes. Shivani is a labour movement activist in India, she's a trade unionist, and an organiser and legal officer for workers in the automobile sector.
