STRONGLY opposing the reservation for employment in private sector units, the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Assocham) has termed the proposed move a `stumbling block in the progress'.
In a representation to the Government on Friday, the President of Assocham, Mr Mahendra K. Sanghi, said, ``Job reservation in industrial units of private sector should not be done by the Government. This will have a far reaching impact on the industry as it may completely destroy meritocracy in the industrial units of private sector and bring inefficiency". Moreover, the chamber chief said the reservations could bring to the fore `class issues', which can vitiate the working atmosphere in the private sector. It has to be appreciated that there is no discrimination against the backward and SC/ST communities as a number of people from such communities are succeeding in private sector jobs due to sheer hard work and competence.
Mr Sanghi said the industry captains were highly worried and concerned of its impact on the efficiency and productivity of a unit in an internationally competitive environment in which the industry is striving to become globally competitive. The industry feels that any action on such a move will be a retrograde step as it may adversely affect the capability of the domestic industrial units.
According to the chamber, it is more worrying since it will have multiplier effect on exports, employment generation and new investments.
