Trade unions concern over Kochi e-port project

Our Bureau

Kochi, Dec. 12 Major trade unions in the Cochin Port Trust have raised some apprehensions with regard to the implementation of e-port project using SAP-based enterprise resource planning and the anticipated consequential impact on the workforce.

In a letter sent to the Port Chairman, the unions have sought his intervention and also urged him to convene a meeting with the unions to discuss the pros and cons of the project and the likely impact of job loss on the port’s workforce.

It is understood that the project may reduce manpower in the ministerial, wharf and technical cadres drastically.

Besides, it is also understood that the project will cost around Rs 15 crore. The unions therefore urged the management to take steps failing which they will be constrained to advise its members not to co-operate with the authority for the smooth implementation of the project.
