Reply Annadurai: 180 people from SLAM has quit the job due to so many problems. Main problems were salary, ESI, PF, work related issues. On 12th we conducted meeting with 120 people. In the meeting we selected 12 Administrators. These Administrators will convey the message and problems to everyone. preparing complaint letter for ACL, preparing petitions. Dhanalakshmi and Palani took initiative. Now they will talk about it. Hi, I am Dhanalakshmi. SLAM clothing is near Chengalpet's Mahindra city. Already we have 20 members working there. On 12th 110 workers were terminated from work. They all came to our union. we had a meeting in Chengalpet. They shared about their problem in the meeting. One is, PF is deducted but it has not been paid in PF office from last 13 months. Next is, ESI is deducted but ESI card is not given. Main thing is they told 110 people that there is no work. And January month salary was not given. Only 30 people are working in the company. 110 workers came to our union. First we made them as our union members. Then we gave petition in ACL Irungatukottai. We have mentioned that they have locked out and we need job. ACL spoke on 18th morning. And he said he will read the case immediately and soon we will find a solution for this case. Even workers are expecting it. They want to join work. They want their PF amount to be paid in PF office, they wants their salary along with arrears. Workers also mentioned that they have called with abusive and unparliamentary words. Already sexual harassment case is going on. Along with that case we will find justice for this case.
