GM India Hires Scabs to Break Chevrolet Cruze Plant Strike
The General Motors India strike by the Gujurat Kamdar Mandal union is reminiscent of UAW sit down strikes during 1936-37 in Michigan, which led to recognition of the Union and the right to collective bargaining by the world’s largest automaker.

General Motors in the U.S. simply says it is working with local groups in India. Continue reading
