How long can you stare at your wife ; work for 90 hours per week – says L&T Chairman.

World over, the working class has conducted heroic struggles and shed their blood, to achieve the goal of “8 hour work per day”. The May Day martyrs who sacrificed their lives in Chicago, raised the demand of “8 hour work, 8 hour sleep and 8 hour entertainment”. Thus, it is only through struggles and sacrifices that, the working class has achieved the 8 hour working day, which comes to 48 hours of work per week. A few months back, Indian industrialist, Narayanamurthy, made a statement that, the working hours in India should be increased to 70 hours per week. This view of Narayanamurthy came under severe criticism. Now, S.N. Subramanian, the Chairman of L&T, has advocated that, Indian workers should work for 90 hours per week. He has also stated that, workers should work on Sunday also. To strengthen his argument for increasing the working hours to 90 hours per week, the L&T Chairman has asked, “how long can you stare at your wife?” These big corporates like Narayanamurthy and S.N. Subramanian want to take the world back to the olden days, when workers were forced to work in the factories from sun-rise to sun-set. But, the working class will not allow that to happen.
