Fighting MS rating and non-allocation of projects

D : They are changing the rating. ..you can ask your managers to increase your rating. Put cc to your ad d etc and also your hr. Send mail with high priority. When you send mail highlight your achievements appreciations etc

F : my allocation is still QEA CBE PDP only for the past two n half months…I’m not into CDP-IND-TR… When I checked with HR, he said that my ID is masked… Can you advise for my case please?

A : Then just contact GWFM for projects. If they still told ur profile is masked then ask the reason for masking and what they planning too do. After u got information send an official mail stating reason and why you’re not being allocated. Request them to allocate u asap. Based on their response u can act accordingly.

F : GWFM person told me that they have instructions from top management that MS ratings have to masked, also they don’t have further updates on it, it seems… Some centralised team masks all the people n no body can contact that team…

A : Hi guys, Can we meet at labour office at 11 ? Is the time okay for everybody who are coming to file ? Reminder – 3 copies of letter need to submit in labour office. There are 4 others too. I’m not the only one to agree. So pls ask them too.

B: Better don’t postpone. File it as soon as possible

A : Hi all, 4 members filed today.

Unionize

A : Hi people, how about starting a union in CBE to safeguard our job ? Who are all willing ? Nobody is willing to join ? Nobody willing to secure the job ?

I have to tell one thing if don’t participate then union and other location people will like we are always spending time in what’s app only but no involvement in any activities. So pls take this as serious and involve yourselves to secure your job or compensation. Just chatting in group has no use.

Employees getting together in groups and discussing is an important first step. Then arrange physical meetings for more closer group, form a union for legal standing within the company.

Wish all the best for the efforts of Coimbatore employees, we will provide all possible help to their fight.
