TCS: Employees Union write to the Labor Department; Workers’ layoffs are called illegal step

TCS Limbinos: The Karnataka State Technology Employees Union wrote a letter to the Ministry of Labor, on the pretext that the situation of 12,000 employees by the IT giant is a “illegal step”. The federation added that the employer cannot force the employee to resign and that every employee has the legal right to refuse for the forced resignation.

Kito said it “strongly condemns this illegal procedure by the TCS administration.” “According to the Industrial Conflict Law, the crime punishable by the employee is forcing the employee to resign. Every employee has the legal right to refuse to sign forced resignation. This procedure is completely illegal and qualifies for the practice of unfair work under provisions of the Industrial Conflict Law.

He added that the law imposes on any company that employ more than 100 workers to obtain prior permission from the government before carrying out any reduction. “In this case, thousands were reduced without this permission, which is a serious violation,” the union said.

The Personnel Authority called for immediate intervention from the government to stop the demobilization of workers. Kito said he was in solidarity with TCS staff and urged him to show the employees to show solidarity.

Meanwhile, based on a separate complaint with the emerging Senate in the field of information technology (NITES), the Ministry of Labor called for TCS, seeking to obtain a response to the demobilization of workers as well as delay in the new recruits on board the plane. Nits had earlier criticized the company’s actions, described “non -human” demobilization, “immoral”, and “completely illegal”.

The Ministry of Information Technology also stated earlier that it was closely monitoring the TCS decision to get rid of more than 12,000 employees. He is in contact with the company and aims to understand the reasons behind this step.
