Delhi Labour Minister Asks NLU-D's VC To Submit A Factual Report On Termination Of University's Housekeeping Staff [Read Notice]

Live Law  

The Labour Ministry of the government of NCT of Delhi has asked the Vice Chancellor of NLU-Delhi to send a factual report regarding alleged wrongful removal of safai karamcharis by the University administration, within a week. The protest stems from the issue going back to December 2019 wherein 55 members of the house-keeping staff, engaged with White Fox and Golden, were terminated without any prior formal notice either from the University or the contractor, thereby purportedly violating labour laws. The University is said to have entered into a new contract with Rajendra Management Group, who had agreed to take on 10 out of the 55 terminated workers, post a meeting held with the students. Reminding the University administration that saving manpower beyond 20% amounts to exploitation, the students insist that the University should strictly comply with all labour laws and other statutory provisions. During the meeting with the Labour Minister, the students were assured that a meeting will soon be conducted between the University, the contractor, the workers and the students in the presence of Mr. Rai.
