&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Previous attempts to organise 2.8 million employees of the country&#039;s IT sector have failed&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2008, as Tamil Nadu erupted in angry protests against the killings of Sri Lankan Tamils during that country&amp;rsquo;s civil war, a group of young software professionals in Chennai&amp;rsquo;s Tidel Park banded together to form a human chain. &amp;ldquo;Stop the War, Save Tamils&amp;rdquo; was their demand &amp;ndash; a slogan that featured on posters, T-shirts and Orkut posts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nine years later, their agitation has led to the formation of India&amp;rsquo;s first independent union for information technology employees. Amid reports of large-scale layoffs by several Indian software firms companies, the Forum for Information Technology Employees, which evolved from the campaign to protect Tamils in Sri Lanka, is in the process of getting itself registered formally as a union for technology employees in India. It will be the first independent association of its kind in the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Previous attempts to organise the estimated 2.8 million employees of the country&amp;rsquo;s information technology sector have failed to make much headway. &amp;ldquo;Normally, the middle class has an aversion to political activity,&amp;rdquo; said J Jayaprakash, a member of the forum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But in recent months, insecurity has been running high among India&amp;rsquo;s information technology employees. Approximately 4.5% of employees are expected to lose their jobs over the next few months, reported Mint, attribution the turbulence to the companies&amp;rsquo; &amp;ldquo;under-preparedness in adapting to newer technologies and dealing with the fallout from US President Donald Trump&amp;rsquo;s protectionist policies&amp;rdquo;. It added that at least 56,0000 employees of top software companies such as Infosys, Wipro and Cognizant are expected to lose their jobs over the next year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This uncertainty has made employees realise the need for collective action. Said Jayaprakash: &amp;ldquo;Since we ourselves are IT employees who have started this, people trust us to take up their issues. It is a homegrown solution to their problems.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Hard times&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Jayaprakash said professionals who joined the industry around 2005 and have 10 years to 20 years of work experience will be hit the hardest by the turbulence. In their place, younger employees on lower salaries are expected to be hired.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The companies call this &amp;lsquo;trimming the extra fat&amp;rsquo;,&amp;rdquo; he said. &amp;ldquo;But they do not realise that each and every employee has a family to support.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Previous attempts to organise 2.8 million employees of the country&#039;s IT sector have failed&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2008, as Tamil Nadu erupted in angry protests against the killings of Sri Lankan Tamils during that country&amp;rsquo;s civil war, a group of young software professionals in Chennai&amp;rsquo;s Tidel Park banded together to form a human chain. &amp;ldquo;Stop the War, Save Tamils&amp;rdquo; was their demand &amp;ndash; a slogan that featured on posters, T-shirts and Orkut posts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nine years later, their agitation has led to the formation of India&amp;rsquo;s first independent union for information technology employees. Amid reports of large-scale layoffs by several Indian software firms companies, the Forum for Information Technology Employees, which evolved from the campaign to protect Tamils in Sri Lanka, is in the process of getting itself registered formally as a union for technology employees in India. It will be the first independent association of its kind in the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Previous attempts to organise the estimated 2.8 million employees of the country&amp;rsquo;s information technology sector have failed to make much headway. &amp;ldquo;Normally, the middle class has an aversion to political activity,&amp;rdquo; said J Jayaprakash, a member of the forum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But in recent months, insecurity has been running high among India&amp;rsquo;s information technology employees. Approximately 4.5% of employees are expected to lose their jobs over the next few months, reported Mint, attribution the turbulence to the companies&amp;rsquo; &amp;ldquo;under-preparedness in adapting to newer technologies and dealing with the fallout from US President Donald Trump&amp;rsquo;s protectionist policies&amp;rdquo;. It added that at least 56,0000 employees of top software companies such as Infosys, Wipro and Cognizant are expected to lose their jobs over the next year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This uncertainty has made employees realise the need for collective action. Said Jayaprakash: &amp;ldquo;Since we ourselves are IT employees who have started this, people trust us to take up their issues. It is a homegrown solution to their problems.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Hard times&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Jayaprakash said professionals who joined the industry around 2005 and have 10 years to 20 years of work experience will be hit the hardest by the turbulence. In their place, younger employees on lower salaries are expected to be hired.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The companies call this &amp;lsquo;trimming the extra fat&amp;rsquo;,&amp;rdquo; he said. &amp;ldquo;But they do not realise that each and every employee has a family to support.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Previous attempts to organise 2.8 million employees of the country&#039;s IT sector have failed&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 2008, as Tamil Nadu erupted in angry protests against the killings of Sri Lankan Tamils during that country&amp;rsquo;s civil war, a group of young software professionals in Chennai&amp;rsquo;s Tidel Park banded together to form a human chain. &amp;ldquo;Stop the War, Save Tamils&amp;rdquo; was their demand &amp;ndash; a slogan that featured on posters, T-shirts and Orkut posts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nine years later, their agitation has led to the formation of India&amp;rsquo;s first independent union for information technology employees. Amid reports of large-scale layoffs by several Indian software firms companies, the Forum for Information Technology Employees, which evolved from the campaign to protect Tamils in Sri Lanka, is in the process of getting itself registered formally as a union for technology employees in India. It will be the first independent association of its kind in the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Previous attempts to organise the estimated 2.8 million employees of the country&amp;rsquo;s information technology sector have failed to make much headway. &amp;ldquo;Normally, the middle class has an aversion to political activity,&amp;rdquo; said J Jayaprakash, a member of the forum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But in recent months, insecurity has been running high among India&amp;rsquo;s information technology employees. Approximately 4.5% of employees are expected to lose their jobs over the next few months, reported Mint, attribution the turbulence to the companies&amp;rsquo; &amp;ldquo;under-preparedness in adapting to newer technologies and dealing with the fallout from US President Donald Trump&amp;rsquo;s protectionist policies&amp;rdquo;. It added that at least 56,0000 employees of top software companies such as Infosys, Wipro and Cognizant are expected to lose their jobs over the next year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This uncertainty has made employees realise the need for collective action. Said Jayaprakash: &amp;ldquo;Since we ourselves are IT employees who have started this, people trust us to take up their issues. It is a homegrown solution to their problems.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Hard times&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Jayaprakash said professionals who joined the industry around 2005 and have 10 years to 20 years of work experience will be hit the hardest by the turbulence. In their place, younger employees on lower salaries are expected to be hired.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The companies call this &amp;lsquo;trimming the extra fat&amp;rsquo;,&amp;rdquo; he said. &amp;ldquo;But they do not realise that each and every employee has a family to support.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;

Job insecurity gives way to India's 1st IT workers union in Tamil Nadu -Vinita Govindarajan

-Scroll.in/ Business Standard Previous attempts to organise 2.8 million employees of the country's IT sector have failed In 2008, as Tamil Nadu erupted in angry protests against the killings of Sri Lankan Tamils during that country’s civil war, a group of young software professionals in Chennai’s Tidel Park banded together to form a human chain. “Stop the War, Save Tamils” was their demand – a slogan that featured on posters, T-shirts and Orkut posts. Nine years later, their agitation has led to the formation of India’s first independent union for information technology employees. Amid reports of large-scale layoffs by several Indian software firms companies, the Forum for Information Technology Employees, which evolved from the campaign to protect Tamils in Sri Lanka, is in the process of getting itself registered formally as a union for technology employees in India. It will be the first independent association of its kind in the country. Previous attempts to organise the estimated 2.8 million employees of the country’s information technology sector have failed to make much headway. “Normally, the middle class has an aversion to political activity,” said J Jayaprakash, a member of the forum. But in recent months, insecurity has been running high among India’s information technology employees. Approximately 4.5% of employees are expected to lose their jobs over the next few months, reported Mint, attribution the turbulence to the companies’ “under-preparedness in adapting to newer technologies and dealing with the fallout from US President Donald Trump’s protectionist policies”. It added that at least 56,0000 employees of top software companies such as Infosys, Wipro and Cognizant are expected to lose their jobs over the next year. This uncertainty has made employees realise the need for collective action. Said Jayaprakash: “Since we ourselves are IT employees who have started this, people trust us to take up their issues. It is a homegrown solution to their problems.” Hard times   Jayaprakash said professionals who joined the industry around 2005 and have 10 years to 20 years of work experience will be hit the hardest by the turbulence. In their place, younger employees on lower salaries are expected to be hired. “The companies call this ‘trimming the extra fat’,” he said. “But they do not realise that each and every employee has a family to support.” Please click here to read more.
