We looked at the need for unions in the last part.
In this part, before going to Comrade Palanichamy’s story, let us try to find the answer for what termination means to any employee. Sudden termination is definitely an extreme shock for many of the employees.
We have covered news about various ways people behave on receiving termination from employment in articles published in our union website over the last 3 years.

During the COVID-19 Pandemic period the IT and ITES Multi National Companies like Cognizant, Wipro, Hexaware, Capgemini, Accenture, etc., illegally retrenching thousands of employees across the country. Quarterly reports of these companies show more than 25000 IT & ITES Employees lost their employment during this Pandemic period.
All the IT & ITES employees unions across the country are working to bringing justice to the employees affected due to the illegal practices of these MNCs. Out of which, Mr. Shyam Sundar, Former Office Bearer of NDLF IT Employees Wing and Mr. Vinod AJ, General Secretary of All India Forum for IT Employees – AIFITE, employed with Wipro and Cognizant respectively were illegally terminated for standing by the affected employees. We strongly condemn that!

My name is Shyam Sundar. I worked with one of the top 5 Indian IT companies. I have around 23 years of experience in IT industry.
I want to start this story from the most recent event. Yes, today [03-08-2020I received termination letter from the company for which I worked for the past 18.5 years. This termination comes as a surprise to me as I did not have any intimation from my company regarding my termination. After 18.5 years of service, I was issued a perfunctory termination letter.

Rishad Premji, Chairman of Wipro in his press release mentioned that Wipro has no plan to lay off any of its employees. If Wipro is forcing employees to go on LOP, is it not called as layoff? Why Wipro is acting against the announcement of its Chairman? Did Chairman tell a blatant lie in front of the media as the happening in the company contradict his statement?

Corona virus spread is causing havoc in each and every sector of the industry. This causes various issues in information technology as well. Companies in IT sector made most of the employees to work from home and manage the client deliverables.
But in recent news, NASCOM, centralized association that represents IT companies requested Indian government to pay partial salary for the excess workforce. This allows IT companies to survive and if this is not done, companies will incur deep losses which create more crisis in the future. That is their argument.

While Azimji was busy with giving press release on the values of Labour laws and how he is shocked to know that various state governments are relaxing the labour laws against the welfare of workers, Wipro management was wallowing in the mire by forcing its employees to go on leave without pay.

For the BJP and its governments, the pandemic and its fallout is just the time to take it all out on the working class, to deny working people the slightest shred of democratic or economic rights. And this is so because, for the BJP, the only driver of growth and expansion in the economy can be capital

A democracy that is not governed by a Constitution and one whose institutions have all been hollowed out can only ever become a majoritarian state. You can agree or disagree with a Constitution as a whole or in part – but to act as though it does not exist as this government is doing is to completely dismantle democracy. Perhaps this is the aim. This is our version of the coronavirus. We are sick.
