Abstract

The growth of the automobile industry in India was accompanied by a series of strikes and lockouts since the mid‐2000s. A peak of this series were the strikes and the uprising at biggest car passenger producer Maruti Suzuki in 2011 and 2012. The article explores the changing forms of organization that the workers of Maruti created during their struggle. Although permanent and contract workers fought together in one of the two factories of Maruti Suzuki, the division between these groups of workers is still a challenge for trade unions and other forms of worker's organizations in the automobile industry.
