Coercion: New Industrial Disease Part 2

Denial of job unless accepting restrictive terms, more so the amount of remuneration is now the norm. Call it ironical, but a while ago overvaluation of workforce only had led to the cash crunch!!! Guess we all are to blame.

Lack of political will to increase employment is evident from the latest Hyundai decision to move production to Europe!!! Probably the government wants more unemployed so as to tap the voter pool for future political prospects.

Only a few from the private sector remain organized only to be put down by the masters they serve. Is there no hope for the slaving workers, does no political party have their interest in mind, or do we not care for ourselves and be organized on a larger scale? I think the answer to all these questions should be in the affirmative.

Disguised Retrenchment: New Industrial Disease

About 3,500 Airport workers have been gradually transferred out of Mumbai and Delhi airports to other places after the private consortium GMR took over the operations and management in 2006.

I have been following this disguised retrenchment since a month now and am amazed to see very little or no media coverage on the issue. Possibly it is not as deserving as the IPLs and General Elections (especially the snappy irrelevant chat between L.K. Advani and Rahul Gandhi, neither of them addressing the real issues of this country) that forsake this country!!!
