All Pay, No Work
Here's why the ruling CPI(M) in Kerala wants to rein in its labour force:
- Cases of workers charging money without doing work is on the rise
- Even strategic organisations like the VSSC and the Kochi port are not spared
- Labour leaders have to be paid before trucks are allowed into their premises
- Instances of unions demanding money even when cranes are used to lift 80-tonne loads
- Labour trouble has repelled prospective investors from the state
- Senior CPI(M) leaders say that unfair practices by labour unions must stop
