Central Trade Unions write to the Union Minister for Labour and Employment, demanding action on violation of government instructions by employers and harassment of frontline workers and migrant workers by police.

In the wake of the 21 day "Lockdown" imposed by the government a spree of retrenchments, wage cut, forced unpaid leave etc., are being done by the employers on the workers, particularly contract/casual/temporary/fixed term workers in various establishments. Similarly, harassment of frontline workers by the police and harassment of migrant workers by them are also rampantly taking place. The Central Trade Unions have written to Shri Santosh Gangwar, Union Minister for Labour and Employment, demanding suitable action.
