Contract workers of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation today staged a protest outside Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's Kaushambi residence demanding permanent employment. Around 100 contractual employees of DMRC staged the protest and raised slogans like "Thekedari Pratha Band Karo" (stop contractual employment).
“Around 10,000 persons are presently working with DMRC on a contractual basis, but we are not being made permanent for a long time," said Naveen, a member of Delhi Metro Rail Kamgar Union.He alleged that labour laws were being violated by the private company which hires staff on contractual basis for DMRC. "There are many persons who were hired by this private company around ten years ago.Despite this, we are not being made permanent by this company and also DMRC," he said.
Ajay, member of Delhi Metro Rail Kamgar Union said that even before Kejriwal other electoral parties have promised but none have kept them. Noting that Kejriwal had promised to finish contractual labour in Delhi, he said, "We have come here to put forward our demands before Delhi's CM". Workers demanded to immediately finish contractual labour, to provide the services of E.S.I. and provident fund and to form a tripartite commitee consiting of management representative, labour representative and labour officer, to hear grievance of workers.
