Government may intervene in IT sector
Today responding to a question is the state assembly, labour minister Gurudasan said that government may intervene in IT sector if there are problems in service conditions for the employees. Responding to this Gtech (an association of companies in technopark) said that everything is perfect in IT sector and employees are already enjoying a good salary.
According to their website, Gtech is an interest group that promotes the cause of community of companies in Technopark. In reality, they have put procedures which are against constitution of India. For example, if an employee wants to shift from a company to another one, he needs to get a "no objection certificate" from the first company. This is utilized by Gtech to lock an employee to a company there by severely restricting the freedom and protection offered by the constitution of India.
Editor’s Comment: Government intervention is the last thing that we need in IT sector. But at the same time it is important to keep organizations such as Gtech in check and to protect employee freedom.
