Letters IT trade unions
The Indian IT industry, including the BPOs, has been under constant attack in the US and other the Western countries for snatching away their employment. There are constant efforts to run down the Indian IT industry, even in India. The employees of the IT sector have been portrayed as an oppressed lot and the employers as slave drivers, without acknowledging that BPOs are providing employment to thousands of skilled and unskilled Indians. Trade unionism in IT could see BPOs shifting countries, perhaps to China where there is no trade unionism.
Not only are the managements of IT companies apprehensive of any such move, even the employees appear against unionisation. The Centre must step in and stop any move to bring in trades unions in the IT sector as this would sound the death knell of the industry and render thousands jobless. S. Narayan
