IT employees in Tamil Nadu, represented by unions, are seeking intervention of courts and state governments to prevent the companies’ growing penchant for job cuts

Chennai:
Two unions in Tamil Nadu, the only state where labour groups have been actively supporting information technology (IT) employees, have become their voice in the fight against layoffs in the industry.

The IT employees’ wing of the New Democratic Labour Front (NDLF) on Tuesday sought the state government’s intervention on job cuts in the IT industry.

The NDLF IT employees’ wing is planning to hold a demonstration in Chennai against the alleged job cuts in these firms on Thursday.

S. Karpaga Vinayagam, organizer of the wing, requested the labour commissioner to arrange a tripartite meeting between the management, government officials and IT employees union to settle the termination disputes

Information technology (IT) companies in India are in the midst of the industry’s largest retrenchment drive, with seven of the biggest IT firms planning to ask at least 56,000 engineers to leave this year, Mint reported on 12 May.

The seven companies—Infosys Ltd, Wipro Ltd, Tech Mahindra Ltd, HCL Technologies Ltd, US-based Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. and DXC Technology Co., and France-based Cap Gemini SA—and which together employ 1.24 million people, plan to let go of 4.5% of their workforce in 2017, the report, based on interviews with 22 current and former employees across these seven companies, said.

The Forum for IT Employees (FITE) from Chennai, which also has members in other cities, filed a petition to the Telangana government, alleging that Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. was illegally terminating thousands of employees. Cognizant had sought two weeks’ time from the Telangana labour department to come up with a reply.
