Vilander Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 coffee jokes apart. This is truely shameful, scary at the same time. Law and order is always a problem in this area. Workers were probably exploited like before. Look at it this way this is a firm that supplies for apple further down i am sure there are some powerful sub contractor employment agencies involved in some scam. This looks criminal not some worker upraising as it is being made out in MSM. coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velu Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 chinese , japanese and korean work culture wont work in india .. in my experience , Korean employees will sell their soul and loyalty to Samsung management in return for job safety .. but Samsung management will expect samething from indians without proving the job safety .. i am against commies , but here my guess is most probably the management at fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BacktoCricaddict Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Same old story. Workers are exploited. Management doesn't care enough at first. Or are under pressure from upper management to produce. Or both. Politicians sense an opportunity to control workers' group and extort management. They swoop in. Some sensible people on both sides try to start negotiations. Politicians intervene and stir up distrust and prevent negotiations. Anger rises. Boom. My dad was a CEO (called MD in those days) at a medium scale manufacturing company. He was a down-to-earth workers' man, had a lot of goodwill on the floor, and managed to nip most of these unrests in the bud. But one time, he was unable to, because some local politician prevented negotiation. The trust he had built over 15 years eroded in a week. It took months to get things back to normal. That's when I decided I am never doing this corporate $hyte. Laaloo, coffee_rules and Vilander 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how good or bad it is on the ground, but my impression is that workers' rights are non-existent and even legitimate dissent is dealt with in draconian fashion. Do we want Indian labor to be treated the same? This is not a pro- or anti- anything post. It is apolitical. I always wonder about the right balance between giving workers what they deserve while at the same time hold them accountable to deliver high standards. velu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a no-brainer, obviously none want the chinese model, but the possibility of them funding the protests, with some many commies here in India to disrupt BJP at the cost of the nation is not impossible to imagine. Starting from CAA, 370, Farmers strikes, Shaheen Bagh, it is very easy to fund it, low cost, high Impact. In this case, it hurts us economically as well. beetle and dial_100 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to go all commie on you, but in my current view, the Chinese labor model is a low cost, high impact exploitation system for multinationals. Where is the balance? More importantly, how do we address legitimate worker demands while disempowering the disruptive forces at the same time?
