The Republican Party of India (RPI) and several trade unions have asked the IT firms to come out with white papers on the recruitment process and appraisal systems periodically.
“There is no transparency in the hiring and appraisal activities in the IT industry. The IT firms must be asked to submit white papers on these processes to the Government and to the public periodically. The Government regulate these processes,” Tamil Nazar, Co-ordinator of the Forum for IT Employees (FITE), has said.
He said this while addressing a press conference here on Wednesday along with the leaders of the RPI, Centre of Indian Trade Unions, All-India Trade Union Congress, Indian Federation of Trade Unions, All-India Federation of Trade Unions (AIFTU). They opposed large-scale lay-offs in Tata Consultancy Services (TCS).
He said the clauses in the contracts were illegal and the employees were not being allowed to form unions to fend for their rights.
R Sudha Bhaskar, National Secretary of CITU, said that the IT firms enjoyed several financial benefits from tax payers’ money but deny rights to the employees.
