Manesar mayhem: Should there be a crackdown on militant trade unionism?

It wasn't a regular feud between management and workers. What happened at Maruti Suzuki's Manesar plant this week was all out mayhem. 50-year-old General Manager Awinash Kumar Dev was brutally beaten by workers, his legs were smashed, and he was then left to die in a fire as a mob of workers went after the plant's management. His body was burnt so badly that it took more than a day to identify him. That too, through a tooth. More than 90 workers have been arrested since then, but a special investigation team is now on the hunt for the 12 main accused.
