Motor Company Limited (HMCL), encounters violent protests from workers that
disrupted production at their works in Gurgaon. HMSI workers were severely
beaten by police, and newspapers and Television channels gave wide coverage to
the ferocity of the action. The protest followed six months of simmering labour
unrest at the Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India limited factory in which the
workers also resorted to job slowdown (since December 2004 when the workers’
demand for an increment in wages was rejected by the HMSI management). The
power struggle also led to fiscal losses for the company. Honda Motorcycle and
Scooter India consist of a diverse workforce. It consists of both Surface level
and deep level diversity. HMSI was a totally owned subsidiary of Honda Motor
Company Limited Japan and its top management consisted of only Japan Nationals
and the lower level management consisted of Indian Nationals. Therefore, there
was a clash of both cultures which resulted in a lack of effective
communication on the part of the management of the company and the workers.

violent before any serious attempt was made by top management to deal with the
issues to the satisfaction of parties. Workers were not happy with the
treatment meted out to them by the management of the company. For instance, in
2004, they expressed their dissatisfaction with the sum of money they received
as a Diwali gift given the fact that their company was the industry leader. It
was perceived that they were being treated unfairly as workers from a rival
company were treated better on that specific occasion. This gift was refused by
