Contract electricity employees have demanded job security and an increase in basic pay during a rally. They said labour laws had been violated and that earlier requests for a pay rise had been ignored, The Hindu reported. The supplied material contains no response from the employer or government.

Contract electricity employees have called for job security and higher pay, The Hindu reported. The workers made their demands during a rally. They said labour laws had been violated and complained that their request for an increase in basic pay had not received a response.

The supplied material does not identify the employer, the number of employees involved or the locations where they work. It also does not specify the current basic pay, the increase being sought or the labour-law provisions the workers say were breached. No response from the electricity authorities, the government or any employer was included.

The available report therefore sets out the employees’ demands and their allegations but provides no further information about negotiations or possible action following the rally.
