Arch Pharma staff stir enters seventh day
While the entire labour force across the
world was celebrating May Day on Sunday, the relay hunger strike of the
employees of Arch Pharma Labs reached its 7th day.
The workers at Sangareddy (Telangana), who formed Arch Pharma Labs
United Employees’ Union have been camping at the District Collectorate demanding the
payment of six months’ salary which has been pending so far. The
company, which has become a sick unit for the past couple of years, has
recently shut down bus service and canteen service to the employees and asked
the workers not to come to work, assuring them that they would be paid during
the shut-down period when there is no production.
The workers also alleged that their ESI and
PF contribution has not been deposited by the company for the past two years.
The agitating workers have separated from
Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), which has maintained its leadership in the
company for all these years.
