Indian Call center workers say ‘no’ to unions
Wednesday 11th, April 2007
Unionizing IT/BPO sector will hamper the growth of Industry. I hope that it won’t happen in India as this will be a back step and it will reduce the growth rate of most booming industry in India. Foreign clients don’t like unionizing the sector because of the fact that it’s just another way to blackmail them. If India wants to keep this industry alive and keep on growing then please reject any move of Left (CPI) to unionize the IT/BPO sector.

Of course I am really happy to see recent survey conducted by C fore shows that almost 53% employees of this sector don’t want to associate with any union as they also believe that this unionizing of IT/BPO sector will hamper the industry growth and could damage the whole reputation of industry.

Unionizing anything in IT industry will be its death knell. Clients will simply run away to Philippines, Malaysia, China etc - where they are assured of 24×7 service - and not at the mercy of unions.

This unionization attempt of BPO centers began in West Bengal some time ago - thankfully its not succeeded so far. We hope it never does.

We don’t need thugs telling us whether to go to jobs or not.

Public Sector Banks went on a strike day before yesterday. Imagine if ATMs, Private Sector banks did not exist - the economy would come to a sudden standstill - by such strikes.

Thank you - to all companies, people committed to the cause of Excellence. Lets REJECT Mediocrity. Always.
